When you're by yourself and you oded, it's hard to bring yourself back to life...We're just finding new ways to deal with it.
Imagine trying to tackle the opioid crisis in the South while navigating political and social hurdles. That's exactly what radio host Joe Lockett and Celebrity Rehab alum Michael Lohan discuss with Dr. Drew and Bob Forrest in this episode of 'This Life #YOULIVE'. The conversation kicks off with Joe Lockett shedding light on how Alabama and Louisiana lagged behind other states like West Virginia and Kentucky in addressing the opioid epidemic.
He doesn't shy away from highlighting the racial disparities in the drug crisis response, pointing out that the black community's struggles were often overlooked until opioids started affecting the white community too. This is a raw and honest discussion that brings these issues to the forefront. Bob Forrest, never one to hold back, shares his candid thoughts on President Donald Trump’s role in the opioid crisis.
He argues that while Trump may struggle to deliver on his promises, it's ultimately up to the people to drive change. The conversation takes an interesting turn when Dr. Drew and Bob touch on transgender politics, adding another layer to this multifaceted discussion. Michael Lohan joins in, sharing his experiences and insights from working with recoverordie.com. He emphasizes the importance of abstinence-based treatment and the need for medical professionals to be well-versed in such approaches.
The episode also explores alternative therapies like neuro biofeedback and transcranial magnetic stimulation, offering listeners a glimpse into innovative recovery methods. Hydration's role in recovery is also highlighted, with the hosts promoting Hydralyte as a valuable tool for those on their recovery journey. This episode isn't just about discussing problems; it’s about offering solutions and different perspectives on tackling one of the most pressing issues of our time.
If you're looking for a deep dive into the complexities of the opioid crisis, this episode is a must-listen.
