Bridging Gaps: Reproductive Health in Opioid Treatment with Dr. Tricia Wright

I think it's important to look at all of that all right, I would like to touch on the clinical application of these concepts.
Imagine navigating recovery from opioid addiction while also trying to manage your reproductive health. In this episode of 'Addiction Medicine: Beyond the Abstract', Dr. Tricia Wright, a clinical medicine professor at the University of California San Francisco, tackles this very issue. Dr. Wright shines a light on the unique challenges women face in opioid treatment programs, particularly around reproductive health. She argues that integrating reproductive healthcare into these programs is not just beneficial but essential.
By addressing family planning and providing adequate contraception and preconception care, healthcare providers can significantly aid in relapse prevention. Dr. Wright emphasizes the importance of collaboration between addiction medicine and obstetrics/gynecology providers to ensure comprehensive care for women in recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of addiction treatment and women's health. It offers valuable insights into how we can better support women on their journey to recovery and beyond.
