So it was that that mentality that got carried over, which is when I heard about sublocated. And because I had reached out to endive or the maker of suboxone Years Ago and saying: I'm a walking billboard, why would you not hire invited to international medical conferences to speak all the time but not a meeting, or not not react, which is funny.
What happens when someone from the inside speaks out? In this episode of 'Collateral Damage', hosts Maureen Cavanagh and Michael Wilson sit down with Ryan Ward, a Rehab Whistleblower, MAT Advocate, and PAC Board Member. Ryan shares his deeply personal journey into recovery, shedding light on the often murky waters of the addiction treatment industry. He discusses the importance of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and why individualized treatment plans are crucial for effective recovery.
The conversation takes a hard look at patient brokering and other unethical practices that can harm those seeking help. Ryan’s insights into the need for better regulation and oversight in the industry are both eye-opening and essential. The episode also emphasizes the power of personal connections and support networks in overcoming addiction. As Maureen poignantly states, 'We have to keep talking about this, because people are dying'.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of addiction treatment and advocacy.
