But at The End Of The Day each story is kind of unique, and so I'm writing a book about recovery that I'm trying to ground in the latest neuroscience: what's happening in the brain when people get addicted, but also what happens when people get better.
Ever wondered how the opioid crisis spiraled out of control? In this compelling episode of 'Whole Body Mental Health Radio', Dr. Jose Calderon-Abbo sits down with Dr. Anna Lempke, M.D., the Chief of Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic, to uncover the hidden forces behind this epidemic. Dr. Lempke, a seasoned psychiatrist and author of 'Drug Dealer, MD', sheds light on how the medical community and pharmaceutical companies played pivotal roles in the crisis.
She explains how the liberal prescription of opioids for chronic and minor pain in the 1980s, coupled with misleading information from big pharma, led to widespread addiction. Dr. Lempke also discusses the urgent need for better addiction medicine education and a new approach to pain management. Her firsthand experiences in treating addiction provide valuable insights into the neuroscience of addiction and recovery.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of the opioid epidemic and why it's crucial to treat addiction as a chronic illness.
