What do zombie drugs, ketamine treatments, and scuba trucks have in common? They're all part of this episode of 'Atypical', where hosts Mary Crocker Cook and Gary Montrezza take a quirky dive into some of the most unusual stories in addiction recovery. If you're tired of the same old news, this podcast offers a refreshing mix of humor and serious insights that will keep you both informed and entertained.
In this episode, you'll hear about 'Dragon's Breath', a drug with terrifying effects that's causing quite a stir. Mary and Gary don't just stop at the scare factor; they dig into what makes this substance so dangerous and why it's gaining notoriety. Then, they shift gears to discuss the surprising use of ketamine for treating depression. While ketamine has a reputation as a party drug, its potential for mental health treatment is turning heads in the medical community.
But that's not all. The episode also covers a scandal involving 60 doctors arrested for prescribing painkillers in exchange for cash and sex. It's a jaw-dropping story that raises serious questions about ethics in medicine and the ongoing opioid crisis. And just when you think things can't get any stranger, Mary and Gary introduce us to a police force that's repurposed an old scuba truck into a mobile drug-fighting HQ. It's a wild ride from start to finish.
'Atypical' is perfect for anyone looking to stay updated on addiction recovery news without feeling bogged down by heavy topics. The hosts' light-hearted approach makes even the most serious subjects more approachable, and their offbeat stories will leave you both laughing and thinking. Whether you're in recovery, work in the field, or are just curious about addiction issues, this episode has something for everyone.
