I always compare the issue of drugs to infectious diseases because I'm always jealous of what we do as a medical community, as a CDC, when it comes to COVID or Shigella or monkeypox or HIV, and we haven't approached the issue of drugs in the same way like I'd like us to.
Picture a world where young people make one simple choice that could protect their brains and futures. That's the vision Dr. Bob DuPont and his daughter, Dr. Caroline DuPont, share in this engaging episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction'. Hosted by the experienced Dr. Roneet Lev, this conversation dives into the critical importance of youth prevention when it comes to substance use.
The DuPonts bring decades of expertise to the table, discussing how making the decision to avoid alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and other drugs until after age 25 can have a profound impact on brain development and overall well-being. They tackle the pressing issue of today's drug crisis, with a particular focus on the dangers of fentanyl poisoning. The episode is packed with insights on changing societal norms around youth drug use and the necessity of denormalizing it to foster healthier lifestyles.
You'll also hear about the integration of prevention science into youth programs and why evidence-based methods are crucial for success. The DuPonts' commitment to normalizing non-use and celebrating prevention shines through, offering hope and practical advice for families and communities grappling with substance use issues. If you're looking for a conversation that combines expert knowledge with actionable steps for prevention and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
