Staying at the center of a recovery program means getting involved fully beyond the self-exploration that you may do with a sponsor.
Kicking a heroin habit is no small feat, and the journey can feel overwhelming. In this episode, Dr. Mark Leeds, an experienced osteopathic physician, sheds light on the intricacies of heroin addiction treatment. He dives into the effectiveness of medication-assisted treatments like suboxone, zubsolve, and bunavail. These medications can be a game-changer, often starting to work within hours of your last heroin use.
But don't think it's all smooth sailing—quitting cold turkey isn't advisable as withdrawal symptoms can drag on for months. Dr. Leeds emphasizes the importance of staying engaged in a recovery program and considering supplements specifically designed to support addiction recovery. With fentanyl increasingly being used as a substitute for heroin on the streets, seeking medical help has never been more crucial. This episode offers a lifeline for those looking to understand their options and take the first steps toward recovery.
