Why does the patient have no voice in their own addiction treatment?
Imagine being treated for a condition and having no say in your own treatment plan. In this episode of 'Rehab Confidential', hosts Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner sit down with Dr. Howard Wetsman, a renowned addictionologist and psychiatrist, to discuss this very issue. Dr. Wetsman raises a critical question: why are patients often left out of their own addiction treatment decisions? The conversation tackles the need for a national dialogue on addiction treatment, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based care. Dr.
Wetsman sheds light on how dopamine plays a role in addiction, describing it as an issue of control and compulsion. He also challenges the one-size-fits-all approach of AA, advocating for personalized treatment plans that cater to the unique needs of each individual. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in rethinking traditional approaches to addiction treatment and considering more inclusive, patient-centered care.
