But I also talked to a lot of people that are on mat and they're living. And so that's what I want people to understand that are saying these things is that they're deterring people from life-saving treatment.
Imagine sitting down with four individuals who have been through the trenches of addiction and come out the other side. In this episode of 'The Recovery Scene', Erin, Mike, Sal, and Nicole gather for an honest and eye-opening roundtable discussion. They tackle the often misunderstood topic of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), exploring how it has played a role in their recovery journeys.
The stigma surrounding MAT is a hot topic, and each guest shares their personal experiences, shedding light on why this form of treatment can be a lifeline for many. But that's not all they cover. The conversation also delves into harm reduction strategies, the value of support systems, and the impact of social media on recovery. The guests don't shy away from discussing the 12-step programs and substances like Suboxone and alcohol.
What's particularly compelling is their emphasis on individualized recovery. As Nicole poignantly states, 'Do what works for you and don't worry about what other people think, because at the end of the day, they don't have to live your life'. This episode is a treasure trove of insights and real-life stories that make it a must-listen for anyone interested in addiction and recovery.
