Feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of addiction treatment? Matt Finch is here to simplify things for you. In this episode of Elevation Recovery, he dives into groundbreaking changes that could reshape the landscape of addiction recovery. One of the most significant updates is the federal government's decision to eliminate the x-waiver, allowing doctors to prescribe buprenorphine without special training.

Matt also sheds light on a promising phase 3 trial for methamphetamine use disorder.

Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
