S03_E04 - The Fentanyl Addiction Experience
Happy New Year to all, and best wishes for sticking with those resolutions!
Although a new year gives us a fresh start for many things, regrettably, that doesn't apply to everything. Some issues in our communities know no bounds, transcending ages and communities and affecting all walks of life. Perhaps one of the bigger concerns in this category is the Fentanyl crisis.
Fentanyl addiction is something that many people in our communities are struggling with, and something that we as a society must continue to confront. And one of the keys to solving any problem is understanding it, and in Episode 4 we'll be joined by Addiction Medicine Specialist, Dr. Lauren Graber (MD, MPH), to give us insight into the crisis and the drug, and details of the experience for the individual. What's it like to be addicted? What's it like to go through withdrawal? How long does it last? And how do doctors actually help get people clean? This episode is a great chance to better understand the particulars of dealing with both the drug and the crisis, and it's packed with essential information for all of us. Please join us.
