In this insightful episode of 'Beat Your Addictions', hosts John Giordano and Scott Jones welcome Fay Zenoff to discuss the pressing issue of equity in addiction treatment. As an addiction recovery strategist and advocate, Fay brings a wealth of experience to the conversation, emphasizing the need for equitable access to treatment services.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she highlights the importance of looking at recovery through a holistic lens, considering factors such as mental health, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. Fay discusses the role of alternative medicine in mental health recovery, working alongside experts like Dr. Deborah Mash to explore innovative treatments.
She advocates for a holistic approach, recognizing that recovery is not just about ceasing substance use but also addressing underlying health issues such as leaky gut syndrome, low thyroid, and hormonal imbalances. The episode delves into the stigma that patients face in addiction recovery, stressing that shame can be as detrimental as the addiction itself. Fay shares her advocacy efforts, including speaking engagements at the California Society of Addiction Medicine, to challenge these stigmas and promote understanding among healthcare providers.
John and Scott, both seasoned hosts, guide the conversation, weaving personal anecdotes and experiences into the discussion. They emphasize that while disagreements may arise, focusing on common goals and shared understandings is key to progress in this field. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the complexities of addiction treatment and consider how they can contribute to a more equitable landscape. Fay Zenoff's insights serve as a call to action for all stakeholders in the addiction recovery community.
