Given the world that we're living in now, harm reduction was able to move us away from seeing drugs as something that are always bad and that drug taking itself is bad, to seeing drug-related harm as the problem.
What if the way we think about addiction is all wrong? In this episode of the LPP Podcast, hosts Zach Rhoads and Dr. Stanton Peele are joined by Maia Szalavitz, a renowned neuroscience journalist and addiction expert. They dive into her upcoming book, 'Undoing Drugs', which promises to challenge conventional views on addiction and recovery. Maia, Zach, and Dr. Peele explore what addiction really means and debate the merits of harm reduction versus traditional abstinence-based approaches.
They also touch on the controversial ideas in Dr. Carl Hart's book, 'Drug Use for Grown-Ups', with Maia offering her unique take on harm reduction. This conversation isn't just about opioids or substance abuse; it also covers non-drug addictions and how people can outgrow these dependencies. Through their discussion, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how connection plays a crucial role in overcoming addiction.
The episode offers a compassionate, non-judgmental look at addiction, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative approaches to recovery.
