All addictions are important, everyone's in the club, but this is the one that's rising above all the others, because it really is an amazing and very chilling public health crisis: the idea that the leading cause of death in young people is now prescription and now migrating to illicit opioids.
Ever wondered why addiction is considered a disease? In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast Radio', Neil Scott sits down with Dr. Kevin McCauley, a renowned addiction specialist, to unpack this complex topic. Dr. McCauley, who has personal experience with opioid addiction, shares his journey and emphasizes the importance of viewing addiction through a medical lens rather than a moral one. He delves into the opioid epidemic, shedding light on how medication-assisted treatment can be a lifeline for many.
The conversation also touches on the benefits of 12-step programs, which Dr. McCauley believes are vital and accessible resources for those seeking support. Special attention is given to the unique challenges faced by both elderly and youth populations in their recovery journeys. As a filmmaker, Dr. McCauley discusses his documentaries that aim to make the science of addiction understandable for families, providing a beacon of hope for those affected.
Tune in for an enlightening discussion that offers valuable insights into the nature of addiction and the pathways to recovery.
