Imagine walking into an emergency department, not just for a broken bone or a high fever, but for immediate help with opioid withdrawal. This is the reality that the California Bridge Program is making possible. In this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with Arianna Campbell, an Emergency Department PA with over two decades of clinical experience, to discuss this groundbreaking initiative.
Arianna, who has been instrumental in launching the program at Marshall Medical Center in Placerville, California, shares her journey and the incredible impact of providing 24/7 access to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for those struggling with opioid use disorder. With a focus on compassion and holistic care, the California Bridge Program aims to make addiction treatment as accessible as any other emergency service.
Arianna explains how the program not only addresses immediate withdrawal symptoms but also connects patients to ongoing support and resources. The conversation delves into the importance of treating the whole person, the role of telemedicine in expanding access to care, and the need to change societal perceptions around addiction. This episode is a powerful reminder of the difference that innovative, compassionate care can make in the lives of those battling addiction.
