I don't put my camp in either one of those we treat and kind of go for the core issue of what's going on inside the individual themselves and then help them understand the difference between how it feels and what you think about it, because we're easily convinced into feelings.
Picture this: a room full of students, community leaders, and experts all focused on one pressing issue—substance use disorders and their impact on the community. In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson joins a panel at the University of Utah, featuring Randall Carlisle from Odyssey House Recovery and Evan Done from USARA. Together, they tackle tough questions posed by a student leadership board, shedding light on various aspects of addiction and recovery.
The discussion kicks off with an exploration of what substance use disorder really means and how it differs from casual drug use. The panelists then dive into the challenges faced by low-income individuals and unsheltered people in accessing treatment. Ever wondered how mental health intersects with substance use? This episode covers that too, providing a comprehensive look at how these issues are intertwined. One of the most eye-opening segments is about the stigma surrounding addiction.
The panelists share personal stories and professional insights, highlighting how societal perceptions can affect both caregivers and those receiving treatment. They also discuss practical strategies for parents, educators, and community leaders to support individuals struggling with substance use disorders. From the accessibility of treatment for incarcerated individuals to the stressors that exacerbate substance use on college campuses, this episode leaves no stone unturned.
The panelists offer a mix of heartfelt anecdotes and actionable advice, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the complexities of addiction and recovery. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how substance use disorders impact communities and what can be done to support those affected.
