If it's an emergency, you would eliminate all the barriers to treatment, and there are enormous barriers out there that are, I think, a hangover from people and policy years ago, learning about addiction and still stigmatizing the patient.
Picture a tireless advocate who's been fighting for decades to improve addiction treatment and public policy. That's Deb Beck. In this episode of Recovery Radio, she sits down with Steve Martirano to shed light on the current landscape of drug and alcohol abuse prevention, education, and treatment programs. From battling insurance companies to dismantling the stigma surrounding addiction, Deb covers it all with passion and expertise.
She dives into the controversial use of marijuana to treat opiate addiction and emphasizes the importance of anti-discrimination laws and parity compliance. Deb also critiques the marketing practices of the opiate industry and shares her insights on the effectiveness of various drug treatments. With a focus on recovery incentives, especially those tied to length of stay, she offers a comprehensive view of what works and what needs to change.
The conversation also touches on suboxone and methadone as vital tools in the recovery process. This episode is packed with valuable information and thought-provoking discussions that could be a game-changer for anyone interested in addiction treatment and public policy.
