You know, I hope and pray, I never am in the position of having to really understand it. So, for example, sudden death of a parent, absent parents, living with somebody who has a major mental illness. Marines can see the same experience and two of them, or whatever, will have that.
How does trauma influence addiction, and what role does self-medication play in this complex relationship? In this episode of 'The Right Mind Media Podcast', Dr. Mark Albanese, an addictions psychiatrist and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, sheds light on these pressing questions. With a focus on opioid use disorder, Dr. Albanese discusses the intertwined nature of trauma and addiction, emphasizing the need for trauma-informed care in treatment plans.
He explores how genetics can predispose individuals to addiction and highlights the importance of ongoing support for those in recovery. Through his expert lens, listeners gain a nuanced understanding of the challenges and strategies in treating co-occurring disorders. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into creating effective and compassionate treatment plans.
