There's methods outside of a 12-step recovery room to get sober. For several decades, Dr. Lieberman has successfully treated patients with addiction with a combination of prescribed medicine and 'faith-based healing.'
Imagine a world where addiction treatment isn't confined to one approach. Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, a leading psychiatrist at Columbia University Medical Center, believes in just that. In this episode of 'Keep Coming Back', Dr. Lieberman shares his decades of experience treating addiction with a unique mix of prescribed medicine and faith-based healing. He’s not your typical doctor; he advocates for the use of psilocybin (yes, LSD) in treating alcoholism, challenging conventional methods.
The conversation dives into the genetic factors that make some people more prone to addiction and how certain personality traits can increase susceptibility. Dr. Lieberman also clears up the confusion between mental illness and intellectual disorders in the context of addiction and ADHD, providing a nuanced understanding of these conditions. One of the highlights is his discussion on Vivitrol, a medication used to curb cravings. While it’s effective, Dr. Lieberman warns it's not a magic solution.
He also touches on the experimental use of psilocybin and ketamine in treating addiction and depression, offering a glimpse into future possibilities. Dr. Lieberman's approach is holistic, acknowledging that what works for one person might not work for another. He stresses the importance of finding the right combination of treatments for each individual. His insights provide a fresh perspective on addiction recovery, moving beyond the traditional 12-step programs.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative addiction treatments, whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is. Dr. Lieberman's blend of science and spirituality offers hope and new avenues for healing.
