Getting that early intervention is the first part and the most important part, and then close monitoring, because there's a lot of times that these patients are going to need repeat doses of that Narcan to kind of outlive whatever substance they've used.
Step into the bustling world of emergency departments with 'Beyond Substance' as it brings you the gripping tales of those on the front lines of the addiction crisis. In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Tyler Stepsis and Dee Oliphant, RN, both of Eskenazi Health, and Diane Buxton, a regional coordinator for Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL). These dedicated professionals share their firsthand experiences dealing with substance use disorders in a high-pressure emergency setting.
They discuss the opioid epidemic's impact, the critical role of early intervention, and the importance of comprehensive pain management strategies. The conversation also highlights invaluable recovery resources like Project POINT, which connects patients with peer recovery coaches and essential support systems. Diane Buxton sheds light on the power of community support through PAL, offering hope and education to parents grappling with their loved ones' addictions.
This episode isn't just for healthcare workers; it's for anyone touched by addiction, providing insights into how we can all play a part in fostering a supportive and resilient community.
