Tackling the Opioid Crisis: Insights from Dr. Amanda Sharp
“I know, my plan is to obviously try to get out and speak as much as possible about this very thing and about how, um, you know, faith and science are the same side of the same coin and we need to start seeing it that way and work together.”
What happens when you mix cutting-edge research with heartfelt faith? George Wood, host of 'The Sober Truth', sits down with Dr. Amanda Sharp to unpack this very question. Dr. Sharp, who works with the Center for Mindfulness and Compassion and the Health Equity Lab at Harvard University, brings a wealth of knowledge about the opioid crisis in America. They discuss everything from prescribing patterns and racial disparities to the role of caregivers in addiction recovery.
But it’s not just about data and statistics. George and Amanda explore how faith and science can join forces to create more effective and compassionate recovery solutions. Dr. Sharp’s perspective is that faith and science aren't opposing forces but rather complementary tools in the fight against addiction. If you're curious about how these two worlds can come together to make a real difference, this episode is a must-listen.
