Driving Through Addiction: Methadone, Gabapentin, and Cannabis Use Disorder
“I don't know a ton of methadone patients that accomplish tons of things in their lives. It doesn't give them a chance for a real life, free from drugs and free from substances, and free from being a slave to another opiate.”
Picture this: two doctors, a car, and an open road. Dr. Terry Sellers and Dr. Kristen Brown are not just commuting; they're diving deep into the latest studies on addiction. In this episode of 'Two Doctors on a Drive,' they tackle some heavy topics, starting with the role of methadone in overdose deaths.

They also discuss the increasing use of gabapentin and why it's crucial for doctors to be better educated on prescription practices. Ever wondered about the arguments for and against marijuana? Dr. Sellers and Dr. Brown break down the pro-marijuana stance and stress the importance of educating patients about cannabis use disorder.
