We talk about addiction as a disease. So when we see somebody with an addictive disorder- and I granted there's a lot of these things attached that are a result of the way we deal with addiction in this country- but still, you know, people have to do things- lie, manipulate, steal, you know, sell their body, all these kind of horrible, abhorrent behaviors.
Curious about the latest buzz in addiction and mental health? Jon Cohan and Abby Dean, hosts of 'The Right Mind Media Podcast', take you behind the headlines in this thought-provoking episode. They dive into Massachusetts' Section 35 law, which allows for court-ordered substance use disorder treatment. While it's seen as a step forward for public health, Jon and Abby weigh its pros and cons, sparking a nuanced conversation about its real-world implications. But that's not all.
The hosts also tackle the hotly debated topic of using cannabis as a treatment for opioid use disorder. With emerging evidence suggesting that cannabis might help ease opioid withdrawal symptoms, they discuss the need for more research and the complexities involved in considering it as a viable therapy. Jon and Abby don't shy away from the tough topics either. They explore the stigmatization of addiction and how societal attitudes can lead to harmful behaviors and disenfranchisement.
By addressing these root causes, they encourage listeners to think critically about how we approach addiction and recovery. If you're looking for an episode that combines expert insights with real-world applications, this one is a must-listen. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these pressing issues and join the conversation on addiction and mental health.
