Mat is big pharma and I'm not against it for big pharma...big pharma is now pushing Swaxon and the way that works.
What if the very methods we trust to combat addiction are part of the problem? In this eye-opening episode of the LPP Podcast, hosts Zach Rhoads and Dr. Stanton Peele tackle the misconceptions and cognitive distortions prevalent in drug reform policies. They dive into the unsettling reality that drug deaths continue to rise even as prescriptions for medications like Suboxone, Vivitrol, buprenorphine, and methadone become more common.
This episode isn't for the faint-hearted, as it delves into the harsh truths about our current approach to addiction treatment. Rhoads and Peele question why many experts cling to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) despite its questionable effectiveness in reducing drug-related deaths. They also explore how socio-economic factors play a significant role in addiction, highlighting the struggles faced by communities in Appalachia, rural New England, and urban centers.
The hosts don't shy away from discussing the tragic outcomes for privileged individuals who succumb to addiction shortly after leaving rehab. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of addiction treatment and the importance of critical thinking, self-efficacy, and achievement in recovery.
