He discusses innovative approaches like microdosing and the Bernese Method, which can help mitigate these side effects. Beyond addiction treatment, Dr. Leeds also explores how low-dose naltrexone can be used for various pain syndromes, offering a versatile tool in your recovery toolkit. If you're considering naltrexone therapy or are already on it, this episode is a must-listen. It's packed with valuable insights and tips to help you navigate your journey smoothly.
