It affects really all social demographics...it has taken over so much of what we do in healthcare.
Ever thought about the role education plays in tackling the opioid crisis? This episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast brings you a deep dive into this pressing issue. Host Zachary Crouch is joined by Dr. Amy McKeever, a board-certified women’s health nurse practitioner, and Debra Jay, the founder of Structured Family Recovery® services. Dr. McKeever shares her eye-opening experience with the lack of training on substance use disorders in nursing programs.
She talks about developing a course called 'The Opioid Crisis in America' to fill this educational void and stresses the importance of approaching patients without judgment. Debra Jay, known for her appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show, delves into her book 'It Takes a Family: A Cooperative Approach to Lasting Sobriety'. She highlights the crucial role of family support in recovery and discusses the power of forgiveness and working through the steps with a sponsor.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of opioid addiction and the pivotal role of education and family in overcoming it.
