With alarming relapse rates for opiates, this episode offers a beacon of hope for anyone feeling trapped in the cycle of addiction. Dr.
Troncale's insights are both informative and compassionate, making this episode a must-listen for anyone affected by opiate addiction or supporting someone who is. Don't miss out on this eye-opening discussion that could make all the difference in your recovery journey.
