Addiction is a temporary, problem and is NOT a disease.
Ever wondered if chemical dependency and addiction are just two sides of the same coin? In this episode of 'The Addiction Solution Podcast', hosts Mark Scheeren, Michelle Dunbar, and Steven Slate tackle this often-misunderstood topic head-on. They start by breaking down common myths, like the idea that addiction is a lifelong disease. Instead, they argue that addiction is a temporary issue that can be overcome with the right mindset and approach.
The hosts also dive into the nitty-gritty of withdrawal symptoms, explaining how they vary between substances like opioids, benzodiazepines, and alcohol compared to other drugs. They even touch on treatments like Suboxone and methadone, questioning their effectiveness for everyone. Plus, you'll hear about post-acute withdrawal syndrome and why it's crucial to find safe detox options. If you're tired of the same old recovery narratives, this episode offers a fresh perspective that's both informative and engaging.
