What if brain surgery could be a game-changer in addiction recovery?

The conversation also turns to Zachary's recent cover story in Harper's magazine, where he explores the cutting-edge world of deep brain stimulation surgery for addiction. This isn't science fiction—it's a real, non-invasive procedure that could offer hope to those battling severe addictions.
Zachary and Carl discuss the role of Suboxone in treatment, the stigma around medication, and what it truly means to be 'in recovery'. This episode is a treasure trove of insights, blending personal narrative with groundbreaking research. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in the complexities of addiction and the innovative treatments on the horizon.
