I think, first and foremost, is it's having a tremendous impact and that people are dying. And I think it's also important for people to realize that it's not an easy process for recovery.
How does a community respond when faced with the rising tide of substance use and overdose? In this gripping episode of 'Beyond Substance', co-hosts Dean Babcock and Dr. Jody Miller bring together voices from the front lines and personal battlegrounds of addiction. Dr. Dan O’Donnell, Chief of the Indianapolis Emergency Medical Service, offers a stark look at the increase in overdoses, particularly among younger individuals.
His insights are both alarming and enlightening, shedding light on the urgent need for effective interventions. Dr. Leslie Hulvershorn, Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Riley Hospital, joins the conversation to discuss the challenges and successes in treating substance use disorders. Her perspective underscores the importance of reducing stigma and improving access to care, especially for young people. The episode takes a deeply personal turn with Kim Manlove, a father who lost his son to a substance use-related death.
Kim's story is one of unimaginable loss transformed into a beacon of hope for others. He shares how this tragedy led him to pioneer peer recovery coaching in Indiana, offering a lifeline to those navigating their own recovery journeys. 'Beyond Substance' isn't just about highlighting problems; it's about showcasing solutions and inspiring action. This episode is a testament to the power of community, resilience, and the human spirit.
Whether you're directly affected by substance use or simply want to understand more about this pressing issue, this episode provides valuable insights and real-life stories that resonate deeply.
