Treatment's based on that individual story.
Ever wondered why some addiction treatments work for some but not others? In this episode of The MAP, host Andrew Berstein brings together Kimberly Walsh, MD, and guest Willy Drinkwater to shed light on the ever-evolving landscape of addiction recovery. The conversation kicks off with a deep dive into the opioid crisis, a topic that's been making headlines for years.
But there's a twist—Drinkwater highlights the growing issue of stimulant addiction, which lacks the same level of treatment options as opioids. This gap in care underscores the need for personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's unique story. MAT (medication-assisted treatment) has gained traction as a viable option, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Walsh and Drinkwater emphasize the importance of combining MAT with other therapies and services to support a holistic recovery journey.
They also explore trauma-informed care, an approach that acknowledges the impact of past traumas on addiction and aims to provide compassionate, supportive treatment. Throughout the episode, you'll find a blend of expert insights and practical advice, all delivered in an engaging and relatable manner. Whether you're personally affected by addiction or have a loved one who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives on the complexities of recovery and the importance of individualized care.
Tune in to hear how treatment plans can be as unique as the people they aim to help.
