Without addressing the role that prisons and jails are playing in the current overdose crisis, I do not think treatment and healthcare alone can solve the problem.
How do political decisions shape the way we treat addiction? In this episode of The Beyond Addiction Show, Dr. Josh King continues his insightful conversation with journalist Zachary Siegel. They dig into the complexities of how politicians craft policies and the profound effects these decisions have on substance use treatment. From the role of the criminal justice system in the overdose crisis to the urgent need for updated and evidence-based strategies, this discussion covers it all.
Zachary brings a wealth of knowledge, shedding light on the dangers of outdated approaches and the critical importance of evolving our policies to meet current challenges. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in the intersection of politics and public health, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at the policies that shape our responses to substance use disorders.
