I always say that people who are in recovery are the nicest human beings ever and that you know the people who don't have an addiction.
What if the very places meant to keep drug users safe are also part of a bigger debate on public health? In this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with Thomas Wolf, a man who has lived the harsh realities of addiction.
Thomas, once homeless and battling heroin and fentanyl addiction on the streets of San Francisco, shares his journey from the depths of despair to becoming a voice for harm reduction and drug policy reform. Through candid conversation, they tackle tough questions: Are safe injection sites truly beneficial? Do they help reduce overdose deaths? And where do we draw the line between harm reduction and drug normalization?
Thomas' personal story isn't just about survival; it's about the power of recovery and the importance of mental health in overcoming addiction. His experiences provide a raw, honest look at the challenges faced by those struggling with substance use and highlight the critical need for effective harm reduction strategies. If you're looking to understand addiction from someone who has been there, this episode offers invaluable insights and a hopeful message for change.
