Well, we have a lot of good groups that are now promoting narcan. That's why they're becoming fierce advocates for it.
What happens when you combine personal experience with a passion for change? Kenneth Anderson sits down with Jerry Otero to find out. Jerry, who has spent time with drugfree.org and is now with the Drug Policy Alliance, opens up about his journey through 12 step programs and why he ultimately left. He dives into the transformative impact of Narcan and harm reduction policies, shedding light on how these approaches are making a difference. But that's not all.
The conversation takes a deeper turn as they discuss the history of the war on drugs and the role of buprenorphine in treating substance abuse. They also touch on the importance of educating young people about substance use and staying socially engaged. As a special bonus, Andrew Meacham joins to talk about the business side of drug treatment and recovery, offering insights from his book 'Selling Serenity'.
If you're looking for a fresh perspective on addiction and recovery, this episode is packed with valuable information and real-world experiences.
