We know that in this country people from racial ethnic minorities don't have the same opportunities, and even if they do, it's much, they don't have the overall wealth okay that white communities do.
Imagine facing the double-edged sword of addiction and systemic racism. In this episode of 'Hopestream', Brenda Zane sits down with Dr. Ayana Jordan, an MD/Ph.D. addiction medicine expert and Yale associate professor, to tackle these tough issues head-on. Dr. Jordan is not just a doctor; she's a fierce advocate for racial and ethnic minorities struggling with substance use.
Together, they dive deep into the systemic barriers that hinder effective treatments like buprenorphine in Black and Brown communities and unpack the generational trauma stemming from the War on Drugs. Dr. Jordan emphasizes that addiction is a treatable disease, not a moral failing, and that culturally affirming care can be a game-changer. They also discuss the stigma surrounding treatments like methadone and how language can reduce this stigma.
The conversation is rich with insights on how finances impact treatment access and why staying socially connected and spiritually fulfilled is crucial in recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the intersection of race and addiction, and it ends on a hopeful note, encouraging listeners to seek help and follow their dreams.
