We know we're putting them in for precipitated withdrawal. As Tara said, once the word gets out and other folks know about the community paramedics, often the community paramedics will receive phone calls from people who are in withdrawal who say: could I?
Imagine paramedics not just saving lives but also kickstarting addiction recovery right on the streets. In this eye-opening episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with Martha Waller and Tara Tucker to discuss their pioneering prehospital Suboxone project. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between emergency care and long-term treatment by administering Suboxone to patients experiencing opioid withdrawal, all before they even reach the hospital.
Martha and Tara, who are at the forefront of this groundbreaking approach, share their personal experiences, challenges, and the lessons they've learned along the way. They highlight the importance of telehealth, peer support, and community education in making this project a success. Their stories are a testament to the power of innovative thinking and collaboration in tackling addiction and its impact on mental health.
If you're curious about how emergency services are evolving to address the opioid crisis more effectively, this episode is a must-listen.
