Most doctors, most nurses, most healthcare providers get zero training in addiction, and therefore it's not that they're trying to hurt you.
Imagine sitting in a doctor's office, feeling the weight of your recovery journey, and wondering if your healthcare provider truly understands your struggles. In this episode of the Dawn Farm Addiction and Recovery Education Series, Dr. Mark A. Weiner and Matthew Statman tackle the complex relationship between healthcare settings and addiction recovery. They delve into whether the doctor's office is a friend or foe for those on the path to sobriety. Dr.
Weiner, an expert in internal and addiction medicine, and Statman, a collegiate recovery program manager, share their insights on how healthcare providers can be both a lifeline and a challenge for individuals in recovery. The episode covers a range of topics, from the neurobiology of addiction to the risks associated with certain medications and natural remedies. It emphasizes the importance of patients being proactive in their care, seeking out doctors with addiction expertise, and making informed choices about their health.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the tricky waters of recovery while managing their medical needs.
