We're going to keep it real. People don't like you, good means, you're doing something right.
Ever wondered how Fentanyl has changed the landscape of addiction? In this episode of 'Don't Die Wisconsin', hosts Kevin Schaefer, Patrick Reilly, and Ryan Gorman pull back the curtain on the opioid crisis gripping their community. They dive into the harsh realities of Fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid responsible for countless overdose deaths. But it’s not just about the drug; it's about the ripple effects on families and individuals fighting to reclaim their lives. The conversation doesn’t stop there.
The hosts tackle how insurance companies often dictate treatment options, leaving many feeling powerless. They share practical ways to navigate these barriers and advocate for personal autonomy in recovery. This episode also sheds light on recovery case management, comparing it with traditional sponsorship models, and highlights the unique benefits each approach offers. Another crucial topic is the Good Samaritan Law, which protects those who call for emergency help during an overdose, even if drugs are involved.
The hosts stress the importance of needle exchange programs and other harm reduction strategies that are making a difference in Wisconsin. Throughout the episode, there’s a recurring theme: the power of seeking help and the importance of support systems. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, this episode offers a wealth of information and hope. Tune in for an honest, unfiltered discussion that aims to inform and inspire.
