And I think that addiction, it's been so siloed from the rest of health care that it can be treated entirely based on belief.
What happens when a journalist with firsthand experience of addiction dives into the world of public health policy? In this episode of 'The Beyond Addiction Show', Dr. Josh King sits down with Zachary Siegel, a journalist who not only covers substance use and mental health policy but has also lived through the struggles himself. Siegel's journey through addiction and treatment offers a unique lens through which he examines the opioid crisis and the broader landscape of addiction healthcare.
He challenges the often simplistic and reactionary media portrayals of substance use, advocating instead for evidence-based treatments and a more nuanced understanding of addiction. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of addiction from both a personal and policy perspective.
