So if the truth about addiction is anything like my guests say- perhaps I'm biased, but I have a feeling that it is anything like my guests say- then one of two main pillars have been kicked out from underneath the standard story of the opioid crisis.
Imagine grappling with the complexities of the opioid crisis, only to realize that the story we’ve been told might be missing some crucial pieces. In this episode of 'The Social Exchange', host Zach Rhoads dives into the murky waters of addiction, drug-related deaths, and the impact on pain patients. Zach brings together experts like Maya Solovitz, author of 'Unbroken Brain', and Jacob Solem, senior editor at Reason Magazine, to dissect these pressing issues.
They question the conventional wisdom surrounding addiction and the opioid epidemic, asking if there’s more to the story than what meets the eye. Is the rise in drug-related deaths really all about opioids? Are pharmaceutical companies the sole villains? What happens when doctors roll back pain prescriptions? These are just a few of the tough questions tackled in this thought-provoking episode. The conversation also explores how media narratives shape public perception and policy, often oversimplifying complex realities.
For anyone eager to understand the deeper layers of addiction and the opioid crisis, this episode offers a fresh perspective that challenges mainstream beliefs.
