Redefining Wellness: A Patient's Journey with Opiate Use Disorder

To be well is to be in good health or in a good or satisfactory way. However, to those suffering through an opiate use disorder, the idea of what it means to be well is completely different and provides a rather harsh insight into how hard it is to fight addiction when everyone around you just believes that your addiction is a moral shortcoming rather than a medical illness.
What does it truly mean to be 'well'? In this compelling episode of 'Addiction in Emergency Medicine and Acute Care', Dr. Casey Grover invites us to explore the complex world of opiate use disorder through the eyes of someone who has lived it. Instead of the usual medical jargon, this episode offers a raw, human perspective on addiction, dependence, and the arduous road to recovery. Dr.
Grover reads an article he co-wrote with his patient, shedding light on the unique challenges faced by those battling opiate addiction. You'll hear about the emotional rollercoaster of withdrawal, the stigmas that make recovery even harder, and the crucial role healthcare providers play in supporting patients. This episode isn't just for medical professionals; it's for anyone who wants to understand the human side of addiction.
Whether you're in healthcare, have a loved one struggling with addiction, or are on your own journey to wellness, this episode provides invaluable insights and a fresh perspective on what it means to be 'well'.
