Opioid Crisis Unveiled: Science, Compassion, and Recovery
“I really have hope we can get on top of this opioid crisis. And I also think this crisis has gotten national attention in a way that no other addiction problem has, and it's resulted in people not just supporting addressing opioid addiction but also addressing addiction as a whole and starting to examine that differently.”
Why are opioids so addictive, and what makes them so deadly? In this eye-opening episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', psychiatrist Marvin D. Seppala, MD, sits down with host William C. Moyers to tackle these pressing questions. As the chief medical officer for the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, Dr. Seppala brings a wealth of knowledge and firsthand experience to the table.
He discusses the innovative protocols developed by his organization to combat opioid use disorders, shedding light on how these methods are being adopted nationwide. From opioid detox to ongoing recovery support, the conversation covers it all. Dr. Seppala also shares personal anecdotes that highlight the human side of this crisis, making complex medical topics relatable and understandable. This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by the opioid epidemic or interested in the science behind addiction and recovery.
