Physicians come across addicted people at some stage. But that is the first thing that they should do, and that's what clinicians should do is reach out to people, connect with them, establish rapport, and then you've got a therapeutic relationship going, and whatever treatment, whatever constitutes treatment, you're in a much better position as a clinician to be able to negotiate with the patient as to what should be done.
What does it take to truly understand opioid addiction and its treatment? In this eye-opening episode of the RAAD Podcast, Dr. Martyn Judson, former medical director of Clinic 528 and assistant professor at the University of Western Ontario, shares his wealth of knowledge. He dives into the realities of opioid addiction, the benefits of methadone as an alternative to morphine, and the critical role of medicinal education in supporting those struggling with addiction. Dr.
Judson also addresses the stigma that often prevents individuals from seeking help and the importance of building trust between clinicians and patients. Whether you're navigating your own journey or supporting someone else, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice for anyone touched by addiction.
