Until we show them that we care, they're not going to think about it.
Imagine a world where addiction isn't whispered about in shame but openly discussed with compassion and understanding. In this episode of 'The Couch Live Radio Show', hosts Lui Delgado, known as The Street Certified Dope Doctor, and mindfulness expert Trinity Phillips dive headfirst into the heavy topic of addiction stigma. They don’t shy away from the tough conversations. Instead, they face them head-on, offering listeners a raw and honest look at how stigma affects those struggling with addiction.
The discussion takes a significant turn as they address the opioid crisis, which has been declared a national emergency by President Trump and local governments. Delgado and Phillips break down what this declaration means for individuals and communities, exploring the broader implications on prevention, treatment, and healthcare access. They share personal reflections and professional insights, painting a vivid picture of the current landscape of addiction in America. But it’s not all doom and gloom.
The hosts highlight the importance of community support and action, encouraging listeners to be part of the solution. Whether it's through advocacy, education, or donating to treatment scholarships, Delgado and Phillips believe everyone has a role to play in breaking down the barriers of stigma and supporting those on their recovery journey. This episode is a call to arms for anyone who wants to make a difference in the fight against addiction. It’s about understanding, empathy, and most importantly, action.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these pressing issues and find out how you can contribute to a more supportive and stigma-free world.
