It's about control, yeah, I mean, ultimately, in the government side of things, it's about control, yeah, and funding, because with control comes the funding.
What happens when the government's efforts to tackle the opioid crisis create more problems than solutions? In this episode of 'The Addiction Solution' podcast, hosts welcome Beverly Schechtman, Director/Vice President of The Doctor Patient Forum, for a deep dive into the 'War on Opiates'. They explore how government policies have inadvertently spawned a new industry of unregulated practices and left many people in pain without proper treatment options.
This conversation doesn't just stop at opioids; it also questions the effectiveness of traditional addiction treatments like rehab and 12-step programs, often propped up by myths about Alcoholics Anonymous. The hosts and their guest shed light on understanding addiction as a temporary problem and discuss practical ways to solve addiction issues for good. If you're looking for fresh perspectives on pain management and addiction recovery, this episode offers a thought-provoking listen.
