Debunking Addiction Myths with Dr. Adi Jaffe

I think one of the main things, one of the points that I had in that article, was to just open people's minds up, hopefully a little bit, to the notion that there are many paths to getting better.
Ever wondered if everything you know about addiction is true? In this episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', Kenneth Anderson sits down with UCLA addiction researcher Dr. Adi Jaffe to tackle five common myths about addiction that might surprise you. Dr. Jaffe dives into the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to addiction, debunking the idea that genes alone can predict addiction.
He emphasizes that addiction isn't a black-and-white issue but rather exists on a spectrum with varying levels of severity. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the nuances of addiction and the importance of harm reduction and open-mindedness in recovery. Anderson and Jaffe's engaging conversation sheds light on the complexity of addiction and offers fresh perspectives on the many paths to recovery.
