Methadone Transition: Insights from Amy Wiebe and Matthew Bonn

As long as we band together and continue putting forward our best foot to get the word out to people, and help people feel like their voice is being heard when they're talking with pharmacists or talking with prescribers, that's the goal.
When the landscape of addiction treatment shifts, it can have far-reaching consequences. In this episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories. Real Talk.', host Daniel Unmanageable dives into the complexities of the Methadone/Methadose transition in Saskatchewan with guests Amy Wiebe, a dedicated pharmacist, and Matthew Bonn, who brings firsthand experience from Nova Scotia. Amy's mission is clear: to raise awareness about the potential fallout of this transition for those in the Saskatchewan Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program.
Drawing on her expertise, she discusses the urgent need for education and training among healthcare providers to ensure that patients are well-informed and supported. Matthew, having navigated a similar transition back in 2015, shares his journey and sheds light on the real-world impacts of such changes. Together, they explore the barriers to accessing treatment, the evolving roles of pharmacists and nurse practitioners, and the critical importance of feeling heard and understood in healthcare settings.
Their conversation is a call to action for better advocacy and support for people using substances. Whether you're directly affected by these changes or simply want to understand more about the intricacies of addiction treatment, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt discussions.
