I don't think you know, being addicted doesn't mean you can't do anything wrong or whatever. Yeah, you're impaired, you know, but that goes with anybody.
Ever pondered whether addiction qualifies as a disability? In this episode of 'Dope N' Dharma', hosts Lui Delgado (The Dope Doctor) and Trinity Phillips (The Dharma Guy) take on this thought-provoking question. They dissect the definition of disability and explore if addiction fits the bill. The discussion isn't just academic; it's deeply personal and raw. Trinity, who lives with spina bifida, brings a unique perspective, sharing how her lived experience shapes her views on the topic.
The hosts also delve into the pros and cons of labeling addiction as a disability, touching on the stigma that often accompanies such labels. They don’t shy away from the tough questions: What benefits or drawbacks come with this classification? How does medical treatment factor in? And what about other types of disorders and disabilities? This episode is a blend of heartfelt stories and hard-hitting facts, challenging listeners to rethink their own beliefs about addiction and disability.
Tune in for an honest conversation that might just change your perspective.
