Addiction is the only disease where getting well is more than getting well.
Imagine having a conversation with someone who has spent over 40 years in the trenches of addiction treatment. That's what you'll get in this episode of 'The Best Minds Podcast', where hosts Jeff and Debra Jay sit down with Dr. Robert DuPont. A psychiatrist, author, and former head of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Dr. DuPont brings a wealth of knowledge to the table as he discusses the intricate world of opiate addiction and recovery.
He doesn't just scratch the surface; he dives into the brain science behind addiction, explaining how it hijacks the brain, making it feel like you're talking to the drug rather than the person. Dr. DuPont also sheds light on the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of addiction, emphasizing that recovery is about much more than just getting clean. It's about healing on multiple levels.
His insights into the cultural nuances of AA meetings underscore the importance of community support in the recovery journey. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or trying to support a loved one, this episode offers invaluable perspectives that could make all the difference.
