Podcasts about overdoses

Barbell Saves Project with David Perez & Robert Best | The Hopeaholics Podcast In this inspiring episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, Robert Best and David Perez share their powerful journeys through addiction and recovery, and how those experiences fueled their mission to create the Barbell Saves Project—a nonprofit fitness-based recovery community that's changing lives. What started as free community workouts in a small CrossFit gym has grown into a 7,000 sq ft facility where people in recovery can rebuild their bodies, minds, and confidence—all at no cost. They open up about their darkest moments, the near-death experiences that shook them into sobriety, and the passion that drives them to help others break free from addiction. We discuss the realities of the fentanyl crisis, the importance of lived experience in recovery work, and why fitness and community are such powerful tools for healing.Check out The Barbell Saves Project:https://www.thebarbellsavesproject.org/#TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Opioid misuse and overdoses are a serious public health crisis across Washington state and nationwide. From 2019 to 2021, the annual number of opioid drug overdose deaths in the state nearly doubled. About 55 people in America die each day from an overdose of prescribed or illicit opioids, including fentanyl and heroin.It's crucial to get real information and education on opioid use to communities. Washington State University faculty and staff, including assistant professor Nicole Rodin at the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, have teamed up with colleagues across Washington to get accurate and useful facts out to people and try to prevent overdoses. They've focused on rural communities hit hard by opioid use, often with limited medical facilities and support.Rodin talks with Washington State Magazine editor Larry Clark about the scope of the opioid epidemic, effective education, reducing stigma, and how we can all lend our support.There's a need to treat substance use disorders as health care, Rodin says. “It is a disorder. It is a medical condition, and we have yet to treat it that way as a society.”Read more about WSU efforts on curbing substance use and addiction in the Spring 2024 issue of Washington State Magazine.Other resources:Rural Opioid Technical Assistance Collaborative (Northwest Region 10)Opioid Overdose Prevention, Recognition, and Response (Washington State Department of Health)How to talk about substance use (Washington State Magazine, Spring 2024)WSU PEAR—Program of Excellence in Addictions ResearchWSU APPL—Analytics and PsychoPharmacology LaboratorySupport the show______________________________________________________________________________Want more great WSU stories?

But what if underneath, there's a deep sense of fear, loneliness, and the desperate need to belong?As parents, we often only see the surface: defiance, shutdowns, risky behavior, silence.

This episode is a ree-air from my recent appearance on The Shawn Rivers Podcast, titled “He Lived Through Six Overdoses to Tell His Story of Sobriety.” But this wasn't just another interview about my past. Yes — we touched on my journey through addiction and the chaos I survived. But it was the questions Shawn asked after that part of the story that really hit me. They weren't the usual surface-level ones. They were the kind that made me pause and think… deeply. About sobriety, yes — but also about leadership, growth, my approach to fitness, and what it really means to live at the next level. This episode will hit home for anyone who's ever battled their demons… But it's also for the high-performers who want more — more peace, more purpose, and more alignment in their life. You'll walk away with: New insights on the real cost of chasing the wrong things How to stop performing for the world and start living for yourself And why living in integrity is the highest form of personal power Tune in.

B.C. is in the midst of an ongoing public health emergency, declared in 2016 in response to significant levels of overdoses and drug poisonings. In response, BC implemented a decriminalization framework in 2023, removing criminal sanctions for possession of small amounts of certain unregulated drugs. Less than 18 months later, B.C. amended the framework, effectively re-criminalizing public drug consumption and possession in public spaces across B.C. A commentary published in the Canadian Journal of Public Health assesses this amendment through a public health lens. We speak with Kelsey Speed, one of the co-authors of the commentary.
