Flourishing after addiction requires flourishing for all. The public health of addiction and recovery has several important lessons, not just how to respond to the overdose crisis, but also, and more concretely, how to think holistically about addiction and all the factors that support someone’s recovery.
What if the key to battling addiction lies not just in treating individuals but in transforming our communities? In this episode of 'Flourishing After Addiction', Carl Erik Fisher sits down with Dr. Wilnise Jasmin, a leader in Chicago’s public health system, to explore how a comprehensive public health approach can make a difference. Dr.
Jasmin, who has been at the forefront of tackling the opioid crisis and other public health challenges, shares her insights on how holistic care can support recovery and prevent addiction. She dives into the importance of addressing mental health and social factors alongside substance use disorders, emphasizing that true recovery involves more than just medical treatment.
The discussion also touches on the unique challenges faced by primary care providers in identifying and treating addiction early, as well as the critical role of community-based approaches. Dr. Jasmin’s innovative work has led to a notable decrease in opioid-related deaths in Chicago, offering a blueprint for other cities grappling with similar issues.
Whether you’re a healthcare professional, someone on a recovery journey, or a concerned community member, this episode provides valuable perspectives on fostering healthier communities and supporting lasting recovery.
