Opiate replacement therapy... stops the craving, so people can continue with their life without constantly wondering: gee, maybe I'd feel better if I took some oxy, maybe I'd feel better if I took some heroin.
Imagine a world where addiction treatment isn't just about quitting cold turkey but finding a sustainable path to recovery. In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, host Kenneth Anderson dives deep into the transformative power of opiate replacement therapy and relapse prevention strategies. First up, Sharon Stancliff MD, medical director for the Harm Reduction Coalition, sheds light on how methadone and buprenorphine can be game-changers for those battling opioid addiction.
She also discusses the life-saving potential of naloxone (narcan) in preventing overdoses. Then, Katie Witkiewitz PhD steps in to talk about her innovative work in relapse prevention. She explains how identifying high-risk situations and developing coping mechanisms can make a world of difference. Wrapping up the episode, Stanton Peele offers his seasoned perspective on addiction treatment, challenging traditional models and advocating for more compassionate approaches. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking practical, evidence-based solutions for substance abuse.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about modern addiction treatments, you'll find valuable insights here.
