H.R. 6 and the Opioid Crisis: A Critical Look by The Freedom Model
If you teach people that they can move past this which we've been doing for years, by the way, people do, they do.
Ever wondered if government laws actually help in solving addiction crises? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar take a deep dive into H.R. 6, the latest government attempt to tackle the opioid epidemic. They break down the components of this new law and explain why it might do more harm than good.
The hosts argue that government intervention often misses the mark, leading to ineffective solutions that can even exacerbate the problem. They challenge the traditional disease-based treatment methods and 12-step programs, advocating instead for educating people about what drugs can and cannot do. The episode highlights how labeling people as addicts and diagnosing them with mental illnesses can have unintended negative consequences.
If you're tired of conventional wisdom on addiction and rehab, this episode offers a fresh perspective that prioritizes personal choice and education over government mandates.
