I think about the policy with pills and turning the people to heroin. I've written about that topic before and I've encountered through my work a number of people that are in pain management that have been sort of captured in this net of drug enforcement as the war against pill mills and prescription narcotic medication has sort of intensified.
When the opioid crisis hits close to home, what are the real solutions? In this episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', host Kenneth Anderson sits down with journalist Christopher Moraff to dissect the complexities of the opioid epidemic. They dive into the stark realities of overdose, the roles of methadone and buprenorphine, and why traditional rehab often falls short.
Moraff doesn't hold back, shedding light on the collateral damage inflicted by the crisis and the urgent need for personalized treatment approaches. He also tackles the stigmatization surrounding addiction, emphasizing the importance of managing withdrawal effectively. The episode makes a compelling case for harm reduction as a viable solution to the opioid crisis. According to Moraff, 'the messaging on the opioid crisis is very focused on supply-side enforcement...and their voices are not being heard properly in this dialogue'.
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the broader implications of the opioid crisis and explore alternative approaches to addiction treatment. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and advocates for more compassionate, evidence-based solutions.
