In this episode of the Addict to Athlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson engages with Dr. Mark Hrymoc, an addiction psychiatrist, to discuss the evolving landscape of addiction treatment, particularly focusing on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). They explore the importance of integrating mental and physical health in recovery, the duration of care needed for individuals struggling with addiction, and the risks associated with rapid detoxification. Dr. Hrymoc explains how Suboxone works in the brain to help stabilize patients and addresses the mixed data surrounding cannabis as a treatment option. The conversation emphasizes the need for a compassionate, individualized approach to addiction recovery, highlighting the importance of destigmatizing medication use in treatment. In this conversation, Dr. Mark Hrymoc discusses the evolving landscape of psychiatric treatments, particularly focusing on psychedelics and ketamine.

The discussion also touches on the future of non-addictive pain medications and the significance of building trust in treatment relationships. Dr. Hrymoc advocates for open communication between patients and healthcare providers to foster effective treatment outcomes.   Takeaways MAT offers a new perspective on addiction treatment. Combining medication and therapy yields the best results. Addiction is a chronic disease with no cure. Long-term relationships with clients are crucial for recovery. Rapid detox can be dangerous and should be approached with caution. Suboxone helps stabilize patients without the high of other opioids. Cannabis has mixed results in treating mental health issues. Destigmatizing medication-assisted treatment is essential. Every family has someone affected by addiction. Individualized treatment plans are key to successful recovery. Psychedelics are being researched for various psychiatric conditions. Ketamine is effective for treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. Understanding the timeline of addiction and mental health issues is crucial. Pain perception is influenced by both physical and psychological factors.   00:00- Introduction to Addiction and Recovery 01:55- Understanding Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) 07:28- The Intersection of Mental and Physical Health in Recovery 10:41- The Duration of Care in Addiction Recovery 14:28- The Risks of Rapid Detox and Medication Management 18:01- How Suboxone Works in Addiction Treatment 21:47- Exploring Harm Reduction and Future Treatment Trends 23:57- The Evolving Landscape of Psychedelics in Psychiatry 26:20- Ketamine as a Treatment for Depression 28:56- Navigating Co-Occurring Disorders 32:56- The Future of Non-Addictive Pain Medications 36:37- Understanding Pain: The Psychological Component 41:58- Building Trust in Treatment Relationships   Please join Addict to Athlete's Patreon support page and help us turn the mess of addiction into the message of sobriety! https://www.patreon.com/addicttoathlete Please visit our website for more information on Team Addict to Athlete and Addiction Recovery Podcasts. https://www.AddictToAthlete.org Join the Team!

Contributors: Andrew White MD - Outpatient Psychiatrist; Fellowship Trained in Addiction Psychiatry; Denver Health Travis Barlock MD - Emergency Medicine Physician; Swedish Medical Center Summary In this episode of Mental Health Monthly, Dr. Travis Barlock hosts Dr. Andrew White to discuss the elements of mania that may be encountered in the emergency department. The discussion includes a helpful mnemonic to assess mania, work-up and treatment in the ED, underlying causes of mania, mental health holds, inpatient treatment, and the role of sleep in mania. Educational Pearls Initial assessment of suspected mania can be done via DIGFAST: Distractibility - Individual that is unable to carry a linear, goal-directed conversation Impulsivity - Executive functioning is impaired and patients are unable to control their behaviors Grandiosity - Elevated mood and sense of self to delusions of grandeur Flight of ideas - Usually described as racing thoughts Agitation - Increase in psychomotor activity; start several projects of which they have little previous knowledge  Sleep decrease - Typically, manic episodes start with insomnia and can devolve into multiday sleeplessness Talkativeness - More talkative than usual with pressured speech and a tangential thought process Interviewing patients requires an understanding of mood-based mania vs. psychosis-based mania An individual with mood-based mania will more likely be restless, whereas a patient with psychosis-based mania will be more relaxed from a psychomotor standpoint Treatment of manic patients in the ED includes the use of antipsychotics to manage acute symptomatology Management can be informed and directed by the patient's history i.e. known medications that have worked for the patient ED management of manic patients involves a work-up for a broad differential including agitated delirium, substance-induced mania, metabolic disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Some individuals experience manic episodes from marijuana and other illicit substances Antidepressants used in bipolar patients for suspected depression may induce mania Important to avoid using antidepressants as first-line therapy Mental health holds can be beneficial in patients with grave disabilities from mania Oftentimes, undertreatment of manic episodes leads to re-hospitalization Inpatient treatment: Environment is important - ensure that patients get solo rooms if possible to minimize stimulation Antipsychotics, including risperidone and olanzapine, with or without a benzodiazepine, are useful for short-term agitation Long-term treatment involves coupled pharmacological treatments with non-pharmacological treatments Sleep Fractured sleep is one of the earliest warning signs that someone has an imminent manic episode Poor sleep can be an inciting factor for mania, which then turns into a cycle that further propagates a patient's manic episode Summarized and edited by Jorge Chalit, OMSII | Studio production by Jeffrey Olson, MS2

There is no one pathway to recovery for people battling addiction. Is approaching addiction psychiatry with one blanket method going to do more harm than help? Dr. Daryl Shorter, Medical Director of Addictions Services at The Menninger Clinic and professor at Baylor College of Medicine joins Mind Dive hosts Dr. Kerry Horrell and Dr. Bob Boland to discuss the landscape of different addiction treatment methods and how to approach them. On this episode, Dr. Shorter discusses how clinicians can best align their perspectives for a more successful outcome in treating addiction, citing that the most important concept is to always impart hope to those struggling with alcohol or substance abuse.“Hope for the people that feel hopeless… treatment works, but we must get those struggling with addiction to the treatment,” said Dr. Shorter, “It may not always look the same for everyone there is no “one sizes fits all” approach to this. You have to try to tailor that care to the individual.” Follow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to never miss an episode. Visit www.menningerclinic.org to learn more about The Menninger Clinic's research and leadership roles in mental health. Follow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up to date on new Mind Dive episodes.

Topic: Holistic Psychiatry- does Ketamine have a role?   Dr. Michael Gurevich is a conventionally-trained psychiatrist who is Board Certified in Psychiatry, Addiction Psychiatry, Holistic Medicine, and Certified in Acupuncture. He has been practicing for over 30 years.   After a few years of busy practice in a psychiatric hospital, clinic, and private practice, Dr. Gurevich became disappointed with conventional psychiatry. Seeking to heal his patients better, he studied and applied in his practice multiple healing modalities rarely associated with psychiatry. These included functional, orthomolecular, and German biological medicine, neural therapy, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, positive psychology, acupuncture and guided imagery, spirituality and meditation, and Systemic Family Constellation.   His treatment strategies are guided by individualized, energetically based diagnostic methods: Autonomic Response Testing and Bio-Resonance Analysis of Health.   At his clinic on Long Island, NY he treats patients whom many conventional and integrative treatment modalities have failed. His approach aims to get patients off medications and restore their health and well-being. He and his staff creatively combine multiple healing modalities, rarely amalgamated in one practice setting.   For the past 15 years, Dr. Gurevich has been nominated by the prestigious Castle Connolly publication as one of the best doctors on Long Island. He has been invited to lecture at several North American medical conferences. He is a member of the Institute of Functional Medicine, the International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine, the American Psychiatric Association, and the Greater Long Island Psychiatric Society.

Remote psychiatry is one part of the diverse practice of regional, rural, and remote psychiatry that is unique to countries such as Australia and New Zealand.  Remote psychiatry brings a number of unique challenges and benefits for clinicians and is not for the faint hearted. Working in resource poor areas, across large geographical areas means that psychiatrists must be adept in providing the whole range of psychiatric skills and expertise to entire communities, differentiating itself from metropolitan practice most familiar with psychiatrists in Australia and New Zealand. Associate Professor Mat Coleman leads today's discussion from Geraldton in Western Australia, where he calls in from his mobile phone.Joining Mat are Doctors Neil Jeyasingam from Broken Hill, Siva Bala from Cairns and Sela Mulholland from Broome.

There is no one pathway to recovery for people battling addiction. Is approaching addiction psychiatry with one blanket method going to do more harm than help? Dr. Daryl Shorter, Medical Director of Addictions Services at The Menninger Clinic and professor at Baylor College of Medicine joins Mind Dive hosts Dr. Kerry Horrell and Dr. Bob Boland to discuss the landscape of different addiction treatment methods and how to approach them. On this episode, Dr. Shorter discusses how clinicians can best align their perspectives for a more successful outcome in treating addiction, citing that the most important concept is to always impart hope to those struggling with alcohol or substance abuse.“Hope for the people that feel hopeless… treatment works, but we must get those struggling with addiction to the treatment,” said Dr. Shorter, “It may not always look the same for everyone there is no “one sizes fits all” approach to this. You have to try to tailor that care to the individual.” Follow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to never miss an episode. Visit www.menningerclinic.org to learn more about The Menninger Clinic's research and leadership roles in mental health. Listen to Episode 3: “Navigating Boundary Violations with Dr. Glen Gabbard”

This Episode features three experts uniquely qualified to speak about the gambling industry, addiction, and recovery:  Dr. Timothy Fong, Jack O'Donnell, and Arnie Wexler.In 2018 the Supreme Court overturned a federal law that had blocked sports gambling, putting legalization in the hands of each state. Currently, 30 states and Washington, D.C. have made it legal. About 100 million people can now make wagers from their homes and on their phones. The landscape is changing quickly.For many, gambling offers a harmless and entertaining diversion from everyday life. For others, the simple act of placing a bet is a very different experience. When does gambling become problematic for a person? Who is at risk?  Three guests share their insights as we talk about the changing terrain of sports betting, the proliferation of advertising, gambling addiction, suicide, integrity in sports, and finding resources for help. Dr. Fong is a Professor of Psychiatry, board-certified in Addiction Psychiatry, at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA.   He is the director of the UCLA Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship, a one-year program that provides clinical training in the management of addictive disorders, and the co-director of the UCLA Gambling Studies Program.  Jack O'Donnell is the CEO of C4 Recovery Foundation. C4 is a non-profit that advocates and develops policy, treatment systems, and educates on addiction and behavioral health issues throughout the world. Prior to joining C4 he was CEO of two private treatment facilities.For 26 years prior to entering the addiction field, Jack was a successful executive in the casino gaming industry. He was President and COO for Merv Griffin and Donald Trump in Atlantic City. He also developed 5 casino projects for his own company in four states and Greece.Arnie Wexler is a Certified Compulsive Gambling Counselor and was the Executive Director of the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey for eight years. His book,  "All Bets Are Off. Losers, Liars and Recovery," provides a revealing picture of how compulsive gambling ravages the lives of both the addict and those around him or her. It is also an inspiring story of hope and healing for anyone affected by problem gambling. Arnie placed his last bet on April 10, 1968. 

-@channel How can the medical field better address patients with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental illness? That's the central focus of Dr. Jonathan Avery's work, the Director of Addiction Psychiatry and Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York-Presbyterian Hospital. This week, Dr. Avery joins Rabbi Iggy to discuss the challenges many patients with substance use disorders face when interacting with the medical community - whether it be inadequate training, existing stigma, or limiting psychiatric approaches. Through his research, Dr. Avery advocates for how greater connectivity and compassion in clinical practice can lead to better outcomes. Together, Dr. Avery and Rabbi Iggy discuss the importance of therapeutic recovery communities like T'Shuvah Center, and the lessons that can be learned from integrated models of addiction treatment.

In mental health treatment today, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is nothing less than a sensation, and some of the most promising results are in addiction treatment. Droves of people—from researchers and clinicians to underground shamans and private funders—are hailing the re-emergence of psychedelics like psilocybin, MDMA,  ayahuasca, and ketamine as a “renaissance.” But despite the hype and money being funneled in this direction, big questions remain. What do these substances actually do? How should we use them? And from a broader perspective, how are we supposed to integrate them into our existing, troubled systems?   Dr. Elias Dawkar is an addiction psychiatrist and psychiatric researcher at Columbia on the frontlines of investigating these questions. He has combined ketamine infusions with mindfulness-based relapse prevention and other addiction therapies and found some stunning rates of recovery. Despite being an accomplished scientist, though, Elias is no reductionist—a clinician and a committed meditation practitioner himself, he has a refreshingly nuanced and integrative perspective on the use of psychedelics. For him, addiction is just one manifestation of deeper efforts to free oneself from a “primordial suffering,” and he offers psychedelics in that spirit: “an opportunity for having the freedom the freedom they were looking for in the first place. The freedom, within themselves, from suffering.” In fact, he also has serious qualms about some of the ways psychedelics are being fit into medicine and the marketplace. Elias Dakwar, M.D., is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry, where he is also affiliated with the Columbia Center for Healing of Opioid and Other Substance Use Disorders (CHOSEN). After completing a fellowship in Addiction Psychiatry at Columbia, he began studying the use of ketamine infusions combined with mindfulness training to treat cocaine use disorders. He is now a principal investigator on several large grants evaluating ketamine for the treatment of opioid use disorder, cocaine use disorder, and alcohol use disorder. His work has been published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Harvard Review of Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry, and other major scientific journals.  In this episode:  - Elias speaking at the Horizons Conference in New York City. - The connections between psychedelics and other contemplative practices, like vipassana, Vedic mantra-based meditation, and Zen meditation, and how Elias brings mind-body practices into his clinical work. - Elias's perspective on recovery and addiction, and making sense of addiction as just one manifestation of a process of suffering. - Albert Hoffman's storied “Bicycle Day”, the first recorded LSD trip. (a cool illustration here) - The Immortality Key, a historical investigation into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization- The pitfalls of psychedelics: at the individual level, attachment to experience and reifying the trip itself. At the social level, how overmedicalization can miss out on cultural and community renewal as part of flourishing.  Sign up for my newsletter for regular updates on new interviews, material, and other writings.

Dr. Westreich is triple board certified (General Psychiatry, Addiction Psychiatry and Forensic Psychiatry) and Past President of The American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry. Today's well timed topic addresses the growing increase in Cannabis use among teens and young adults as the nation pushes ahead with rapid legalization of this increasingly potent drug. Discussion revolves around what to do when your loved one has a problem with Cannabis. Is Cannabis addictive? What does Cannabis Use Disorder look like? What is the scientific consensus on the effects of Cannabis on the brains of teens and young adults? Isn't it “medicine”? What's the connection between Cannabis and mental illness? Does the American Psychiatric Association hold an official position on Cannabis? How do I approach my teen/young adult child if I'm worried about his/her Cannabis use? How are Cannabis problems treated? Where do I go to find help? As he addresses these questions with intelligence and compassion, Dr. Westreich relies on decades of experience working with people struggling with Substance Use Disorders and their families.

Medical Marijuana: A Clinical Handbook with Samoon Ahmad, M.D., and Kevin P. Hill, M.D., M.H.S. Despite the booming cannabis industry and increasingly popular medicinal cannabis programs throughout the country, very few people, whether patients or clinicians, understand the complex science of the plant or its effect on the brain and the body. While there have been dozens of books that celebrate cannabis and just as many that denigrate it, there has yet to be one that offers an unbiased and clear-eyed look at the science of cannabis and the cannabinoids. By taking an evidence-based approach and avoiding familiar political tropes, Drs. Samoon Ahmad and Kevin P. Hill have finally done just that with their new book: Medical Marijuana: A Clinical Handbook Cannabis has been cultivated and used for thousands of years, yet it remains not just enigmatic but deeply polarizing. As they write in the book's prologue, "It is our hope that we can eliminate unwarranted stigmas that continue to hound this quirky plant and to dispel any notions that cannabis is either a miracle drug or the devil's weed. If nothing else, we hope to provide our peers in the medical community with some degree of clarity so that they can make decisions based on the best available evidence and pass on accurate information to patients." Both authors have extensive clinical experience and academic backgrounds. Dr. Hill is an addiction specialist and currently Director of the Division of Addiction Psychiatry at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard University, and author of Marijuana: The Unbiased Truth About the World's Most Popular Weed. Dr. Ahmad is a practicing physician in New York City, Founder of the Integrative Center for Wellness, and a Professor of Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He has also written extensively about PTSD and co-authored multiple books, including the recent edition of Kaplan & Sadock's Pocket Handbook of Clinical Psychiatry.

Treatment of addiction often focuses on abstinence or ‘harm reduction.' While many people benefit greatly from such approaches, the underlying pain and heartache often go untreated, leaving individuals vulnerable to relapse. Focusing on the emotional undercurrents of addiction can help individuals address, once and for all, the deep-seated factors that drive them to substances in the first place. This approach is explained and elaborated by Dr. Edward Khantzian in his new book, Treating Addiction: Beyond the Pain (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018). In the book, he introduces his ‘self-medication hypothesis' and explains what it adds to our understanding addiction relative to theories focused solely on pleasure-seeking or self-destruction. In our interview, we discuss how he arrived at this combined humanistic and psychoanalytic approach, and he offers compelling arguments to support its application. This interview will be relevant for anyone who suffers with, treats, or loves someone struggling with substance abuse and dependence. Dr. Edward Khantzian is professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and past president of the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry. He is distinguished scholar, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst, specializing in addictions for more than fifty years. Eugenio Duarte, Ph.D. is a psychologist and psychoanalyst practicing in New York City and Miami. He treats individuals and couples, with specialties in gender and sexuality, eating and body image problems, and relationship issues. He is a graduate of the psychoanalytic training program at William Alanson White Institute and former chair of their LGBTQ Study Group. He is also a contributing author to the book Introduction to Contemporary Psychoanalysis: Defining Terms and Building Bridges (2018, Routledge).   Learn more about your ad choices.

In this podcast, Professor Rab Houston speaks to Alexander Baldacchino, Professor of Medicine, Psychiatry and Addictions, University of St Andrews and Clinical Lead and Consultant in Addiction Psychiatry with NHS Fife. This podcast will hopefully provide the right incentive for listeners to understand better the finer details pertinent to the topic of substance misuse disorder and dependence. Listeners will be taken through some of the relevant historical, clinical, epidemiological, humanistic and other cross cutting themes to allow a more positive formulation of what the problems caused or as a consequences of substance misuse can be crystallised without stigmatising the individual or population involved. The interview explores understandings and misunderstandings of substance misuse, and the possibilities for helping misusers against a background of rapid changes in society, medical provision, and the proliferation of substances.

The February 2018 podcast interviews Dr Mark Daglish, Director of Addiction Psychiatry at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. Dr Daglish has been involved in research into the neurochemistry of craving, the role of craving in relapse, and brief interventions for young people presenting to emergency departments with alcohol related injuries.

Dr Daglish also mentions exploratory efforts to use psychoactive substances such as psilocybin to alter the natural history of addiction, speculating on the possibility of manufacturing the sort of epiphanies that can lead to abstinence.
