The landscape of addiction is changing from one substance/behavior to more of a hybrid combination. We need to gain awareness for people, whether that's the individuals, the family members, professionals who work with youth.
Picture this: a world where addiction is no longer confined to just alcohol or drugs. Instead, it's a complex web of substances, behaviors, and technologies all intertwined. In this eye-opening episode of 'Prevent This!', clinical substance abuse counselor Andrew J. Schreier joins the conversation to unpack this emerging trend. Schreier explains how the landscape of addiction is shifting from single-issue dependencies to hybrid addictive behaviors. These aren't just theoretical concepts; they're real-life scenarios affecting our youth and communities right now.
How do you spot these hybrid addictions? What can parents, professionals, and community members do to combat them? Schreier dives into practical examples and offers tools for identification and prevention. The episode also explores the alarming rise in gambling and gaming addictions, and how these behaviors often overlap with substance abuse. By the end, you'll have a clearer understanding of why awareness and education are crucial in tackling these modern-day challenges.
If you're a parent worried about your child's screen time or a professional seeking to stay ahead of addiction trends, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Tune in to learn more about this evolving issue and discover ways to protect those you care about.
