Tony, the producer behind 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', takes on a crucial question in this episode: Does treatment address cross-addictions? With the rise of cheaper and more potent street drugs like fentanyl, cross-addictions are becoming increasingly common. Tony sheds light on how alcoholics today are more likely to struggle with multiple addictions compared to the past. But how do treatment centers tackle this complex issue? It all starts with identifying every substance the client is hooked on.
While some may openly disclose their dependencies, a detailed intake process is key to uncovering the full picture. Cross-addictions differ from 'dual diagnosis', where a mental illness like clinical depression exists alongside an addiction. Tony emphasizes that while the treatment approach for addictions generally follows a uniform path—addressing repetitive, compulsive behaviors causing harm—the focus shifts based on the specific behaviors at play.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of modern addiction treatment and the importance of thorough initial assessments.
