If people are struggling with chaotic use and injecting a bundle or two a day and they want to get control of that and then they check in with me and say: hey, I'm down to a bundle, I give them a hug. I don't know what to say about that for someone that's pursuing an abstinence pathway. Now that person is able to get a little bit more normality into their life.
Ever wondered how harm reduction can save lives? In this engaging episode, Phil Rutherford chats with Brittany Salerno, a key figure in the Philadelphia Overdose Prevention Network and an emergency buprenorphine coordinator. Brittany shares her journey into harm reduction, shedding light on its crucial role in addressing substance use disorders. She dives into the social stigmas that surround harm reduction and substance use, offering a candid look at her experiences in both clinical and advocacy settings.
Brittany also talks about the importance of meeting individuals where they are and the need for effective patient education and peer support. If you're curious about the clinical side of harm reduction or want to understand more about the ongoing fentanyl crisis, this episode is a must-listen.
