Healing from Addiction: Dr. Jessica Gregg's Holistic Approach

The ability to hold multiple truths and recognize that they're both tragic, and so it's what makes humanity so beautiful, I think those things, what do you think?
What if there was a way to treat addiction that looked at the whole person, not just the addiction itself? In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zach Crouch sits down with Dr. Jessica Gregg, an expert in both internal and addiction medicine. Dr. Gregg wears many hats at Oregon Health & Science University, including medical director for OHSU’s ECHO programs and associate program director for the Addiction Medicine Fellowship.
Together, they dive into the nuances of addiction treatment, focusing on holistic and trauma-informed care. Dr. Gregg shares her extensive experience working with homeless populations and discusses the importance of addressing social determinants of health in addiction recovery. They also talk about how to find the right treatment center and why evidence-based methods are crucial. With the pandemic having exacerbated overdose deaths, the need for hope and effective care has never been more pressing.
To wrap things up on a lighter note, Zach asks Dr. Gregg for her reading recommendations, adding a personal touch to an already insightful conversation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand addiction treatment from a compassionate and comprehensive perspective.
