Nobody chooses the horrible things that happened to them in their life and nobody chooses to be addicted, and everybody, if given the opportunity, would take an opportunity at getting away from all of it.
How do we bridge the gap between harm reduction and abstinence-based recovery? This episode of 'Ordinary Courage' with Vanisha Breault tackles that very question with guest Dr. Rob Tanguay. A psychiatrist with fellowships in addiction and pain medicine, Dr. Tanguay brings a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to the table. Together, they dive into the complexities of addiction treatment, discussing everything from evidence-based medical practices to the crucial role of hope in recovery.
They also address the heavy stigma and prejudice surrounding addiction and mental health, emphasizing the need for compassionate care. Dr. Tanguay shares his personal experiences working in addiction medicine, shedding light on the importance of collaboration among medical professionals, including nurse practitioners and therapists, to optimize recovery outcomes. The conversation also touches on expanding harm reduction programs and the necessity of building a supportive network for those struggling with addiction.
This episode is packed with insights and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction or mental health issues.
