Can something be addictive without any addictive chemicals? In this eye-opening episode of 'Addiction and Recovery', Torie Miller takes us on a journey into the often-overlooked world of non-chemical addictions. She shares her personal experience with ketamine, a drug commonly known as a horse tranquilizer, which despite lacking addictive chemicals, can still create a powerful craving due to the feelings it induces.

Whether you're curious about the nuances of addiction or seeking to understand the complexities of non-chemical dependencies, this episode offers a fresh perspective that's both enlightening and thought-provoking.
