And while no two stories were the same, their heartrending similarities changed Canning's view.
Peter Canning started his career as a paramedic in Hartford, Connecticut, thinking drug users were simply victims of their own poor choices. But as he encountered more and more overdose cases, he began to dig deeper, asking his patients how they ended up where they were. Their stories, though unique, shared haunting similarities that reshaped his entire outlook on addiction.
In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Canning opens up about his transformation from a paramedic who didn't care much for his patients to an advocate deeply invested in understanding and helping those struggling with addiction. He shares his eye-opening experiences on the front lines and discusses the science behind addiction, the evolving methods of rehab, and the heavy stigma that surrounds it.
If you're looking to understand addiction from a new perspective, or if you're seeking hope and practical advice, this episode offers a compelling narrative that could change the way you see addiction.
