I don't disagree with opiates being used medically, if they're used responsibly, knowing what can happen, knowing what can happen, because now we know, right we see.
Picture this: an opioid epidemic that has morphed into a much larger crisis, now known as a syndemic. It's not just about opioids anymore; it's a tangled web of interconnected health issues. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Joanie Sigal takes a deep dive into the complexities of this syndemic and sheds light on alternative approaches to pain management and addiction recovery.
Pain is real, and so is the need for effective pain management. But what happens when the very drugs meant to alleviate pain become the root of another problem? Joanie tackles this head-on by discussing the over-prescription of pain pills and the dangers they pose. She brings in experts who advocate for non-euphoric pain management options, offering a glimmer of hope for those caught in the cycle of addiction. The episode doesn't stop there.
It also explores the challenges faced by sober houses, which are supposed to be safe havens but often fall short. Joanie highlights the importance of educating doctors about the risks of over-prescribing and the need for comprehensive, non-step rehabilitation programs inspired by L. Ron Hubbard's works. If you're grappling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about alternative pain management methods, this episode is a must-listen.
It offers practical advice, expert insights, and most importantly, hope for a better future.
