I think, even just starting by shifting the culture of how we talk about and how we treat patients with substance use disorders and with addiction, can have a pretty significant impact and there's a lot of room for improvement.
What if the key to tackling opioid addiction lies in changing how we talk about it? Dr. Kathryn Hawk, an emergency physician and assistant professor at Yale University's Department of Emergency Medicine, thinks so. In this engaging episode of the Cover2 Podcast, host Greg McNeil sits down with Dr. Hawk to explore a groundbreaking pilot program that aims to disrupt the cycle of opioid use disorder.
Through a study involving 329 patients, Yale's program has developed a comprehensive approach that includes peer recovery coaches, counseling services, and buprenorphine treatment right in the emergency department. Dr. Hawk passionately discusses the importance of shifting the cultural narrative around addiction and substance use disorders. By educating healthcare providers and building community capacity, she believes we can make a significant dent in the opioid epidemic.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative solutions to addiction, whether you're personally affected or simply want to understand more about this pressing issue. Tune in to hear how Dr. Hawk and her team are paving the way for a more compassionate and effective approach to treating opioid use disorder.
