Women have some unique challenges when it comes to addiction treatment, and the stigma for women is greater than that for men, especially women who have children.
Ever wondered why fewer women are seeking addiction treatment despite rising usage and overdoses? In this episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', hosts Mike and Nat take a closer look at the gender gap in addiction treatment. They explore the unique challenges women face, such as societal stigma, especially for mothers dealing with addiction. They also discuss the need for gender-specific treatment programs and the importance of trauma-informed care. But that's not all.
Mike and Nat also tackle the controversial topic of fentanyl test strips. These strips could save lives, yet they're still illegal in some states. The hosts advocate for harm reduction approaches and stress the importance of changing how we view drug use. In addition, they dive into the impact of Dry January on small businesses, scrutinize the current state of the rehab industry, and discuss the necessity of long-term support in recovery.
Their signature banter and honest conversations make this episode both engaging and informative. So if you're curious about these pressing issues or just want to hear some down-to-earth discussions on addiction and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
