Imagine finding a new way to ease the torment of opioid withdrawal. In this episode, Dr. Mark Leeds dives into the intriguing world of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and its potential to help those struggling with opioid addiction. HBOT has been around for years, primarily used to treat conditions like decompression sickness and chronic wounds. But could it also be a game-changer for opioid withdrawal?

This episode is perfect for anyone interested in innovative treatments for addiction or looking for new ways to support loved ones on their recovery journey. Dr.
Leeds' empathetic and thorough approach ensures you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of how HBOT could revolutionize opioid withdrawal treatment.
