I really believe that people should be allowed to live at risk if that is their choice... But we certainly wouldn't say to someone: you can't go back. So those things that are obvious or overt aren't necessarily there. I think that what feels wisest to me is to put someone in a different area, an area where there are less of those variables, less of those stressors, less of those risk factors.
Imagine being a healthcare worker struggling with addiction, constantly battling the pressure to recover and return to work. In this eye-opening episode of 'Recovery Machine', hosts Nathan McLean and Corey Williams tackle a thorny question: Should there be a cap on the number of times healthcare professionals can undergo addiction treatment and return to their roles? Nathan and Corey dive deep into this issue, offering a mix of personal anecdotes and professional insights.
Nathan argues that people should have the right to live at risk if they choose, but also suggests moving individuals to less stressful environments if they've experienced significant trauma or injury. Corey echoes the importance of personal choice but stresses the need for robust safeguards and continuous monitoring. This episode doesn't just stop at addiction treatment limits; it broadens the conversation to cover prevention in healthcare, safe supply, trauma, PTSD, harm reduction, workplace risks, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
It's a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of addiction recovery and the demanding world of healthcare. Whether you're a healthcare worker facing these challenges or someone keen to understand the complexities of addiction treatment, this episode offers valuable perspectives and thought-provoking discussions.
