We like to believe the opposite of addiction is actually connection, and we are going to attempt to educate you and possibly even entertain you while we navigate all topics of addiction.
Imagine being a healthcare provider in the thick of a pandemic, tasked with treating critically ill patients who also struggle with substance use disorder. In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection', Dr. Kurt Devine and Dr. Heather Bell dive into the unique challenges these patients face, especially during the Covid-19 crisis. They shed light on the complexities of managing conditions like sepsis and navigating ICU admissions while ensuring addiction issues aren't overlooked.
