As the freshmen come, as there are football games and we, you know, unfortunately have seen a few young men and women die, and I can't even tell you and give you a count of how many we treat in the er and how many paramedics treat out in the field, just because that has been a culture and that part has sort of gotten worse.
Ever wondered what an ER doctor sees when it comes to addiction? Dr. Rohit Adi has spent 26 years in the emergency room, with 15 of those years focused on treating addiction. This episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return' dives into the gritty details of what happens when addiction meets the ER. Dr. Adi, a certified addictionologist, brings his firsthand experience with methadone, marijuana, and synthetic drugs to the table.
He doesn’t hold back on his strong opinions about the 'drug for a drug' mentality that often permeates addiction treatment. But it's not just about drugs; Dr. Adi also touches on the rising issue of homelessness linked to addiction. With relatives in both the U.S. and India who have struggled with substance abuse, his perspective is deeply personal and passionate.
He challenges traditional rehab methods and advocates for holistic and alternative approaches, emphasizing that addiction is a whole-person issue—both physical and mental. For anyone grappling with addiction or those who want to understand it better, Dr. Adi’s insights are eye-opening and invaluable. This episode offers a raw, unfiltered look at the complexities of addiction and the urgent need for a broader approach to treatment.
