I think again, it's truly a you know all around experience, and it's so important that people understand that you can't, you know, deal with one and forget the other.
Pain and drug use often go hand-in-hand, creating a complicated web of dependence that's tough to untangle. In this episode of the WAISMANN METHOD® Opioid Treatment Specialists Podcast, hosts Clare Waismann, David Livingston, and Dwight Hurst take a deep dive into how physical, emotional, and psychological pain can trigger and sustain opioid dependence.
Clare, a Registered Addiction Specialist, along with David, a seasoned psychotherapist, and Dwight, a trauma recovery expert, bring their wealth of knowledge to the table to explore this critical issue. The discussion covers a range of topics, from the psychological impact of chronic pain to the dangers of opioid-induced analgesia. They emphasize that understanding and managing pain is crucial for anyone in addiction recovery.
Clare's candid remark, 'it's truly an all-around experience, and it's so important that people understand that you can't, you know, deal with one and forget the other', underscores the need for a holistic approach to well-being.
