Demi Lovato dancing with the devil is a reminder that addiction can reach anyone, even- and I'm putting this in here- even disney teenagers.
Have you ever wondered how Hollywood portrays addiction? In this eye-opening episode of Elevation Recovery, host Matt Finch unpacks some recent headlines that are shaking up the conversation around addiction. One of the main highlights is the film 'Four Good Days', a raw and emotional family drama that dives into the complex dynamics of a mother's love amidst her daughter's battle with addiction. It's a stark reminder of how addiction impacts not just the individual but their loved ones too.
But that's not all. Matt also delves into Endivier's groundbreaking work in developing treatments for cannabis-related disorders. The company has made strides with a new medication that targets the Cb1 receptor, offering hope for those struggling with cannabis addiction without disrupting other bodily functions. The episode takes a fascinating turn as Matt discusses ibogaine, a psychedelic drug that some experts believe could revolutionize addiction treatment.
Despite its potential, ibogaine remains a Schedule I substance, making it a controversial topic in the world of recovery. And let's not forget the candid discussion about Demi Lovato's public struggles with addiction and mental health. Her story serves as a powerful reminder that addiction can touch anyone, regardless of their background or fame.
Whether you're looking to stay informed about the latest in addiction recovery or seeking inspiration from real-life stories, this episode offers a wealth of insights and updates. Tune in for an engaging and informative listen that might just change the way you see addiction.
