I think that if we start to look at the addiction crisis as an actual fucking crisis and take dramatic action to change things, then things will change.
Imagine a world where drug use isn't punished by law but treated as a health issue. That's exactly what Oregon has done, and this episode of 'Rehab Confidential' dives into the implications. Hosts Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner sit down with Sean-Paul Mahoney, a mental health and addiction peer support specialist, to unpack this groundbreaking legislation. Mahoney explains that the new law aims to reduce the stigma around addiction, offering more treatment options rather than jail time.
This shift could change how we think about recovery and support for those struggling with addiction. But that's not all. The episode also takes a lighter turn, exploring the quirks of dating via Zoom during a pandemic. Plus, there's a heartwarming moment when Joe shares the news of his kid getting into Georgetown Medical School. If you're curious about innovative approaches to addiction and enjoy a mix of serious discussion and light-hearted banter, this episode is for you.
