Tackling the Opioid Crisis: Insights from Robert Valuck

We just want people to join arms and say: hey, we can speak more loudly if there are seven or of us talking than seven or eight of us talking.
Picture this: a storm brewing, not in the sky, but in our communities. This episode of 'Sober on Purpose' dives deep into the heart of the opioid crisis with guest Robert Valuck, PhD, RPh. Tanya Gioia sits down with Dr. Valuck to untangle the complex web of factors fueling this epidemic.
From the staggering rise in prescription painkiller-related deaths to the crucial steps we can take to prevent addiction, this conversation sheds light on a pressing issue that affects us all. Dr. Valuck, representing the Colorado Consortium for Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention at the SUPAR Conference, explains how opioids find their way into households and the stages of addiction that follow.
He emphasizes the importance of safe storage and disposal of medications, debunking the myth that opioids are always more effective than over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. The episode also highlights the role of peer support in recovery and the need for comprehensive treatment options. Whether you're directly affected by the opioid crisis or want to be part of the solution, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
