This podcast is our first episode on the facts behind alcohol and alcoholism.We learn that:One could consider alcoholism an epidemic if we count a minimum of 14 million adults as having the disease.And since it does not travel alone, those 14 million adults affect another 5 people each so 70 million are in one way or another affected.The myth that we can protect our young people from the risks of becoming alcoholics by introducing them to drink early in life is one of the most dangerous myths out there. The facts speak totally otherwise.The deadly effects of alcoholism are under-reported. Death certificates may say cirrhosis of the liver but do not mention that a lifetime of drinking was the real cause of death.Alcohol is still a socially acceptable drug and being a drunk somehow carries less of a stigma than being an addict, even though one is addicted to alcohol.

Drs. Timothy and Nikki Allen to talk about their work serving the underserved, especially those who are struggling with addiction on this week's CMDA Matters podcast.

A relapse doesn't erase your recovery journey. You don't have to start back at square one every time you relapse. People who think like that have a hard time continuing their journey. Know that when you recover from relapse, you will come out even stronger than before. Join Tim Westbrook, MS as he talks to the owner of Art Of Our Soul and host of Escaping Rock Bottom podcast, Brandon Lee as he shares his recovery story.

Discover how relapse is not going to destroy your life and that sometimes it can just clear your path. Find out more about trauma and how it's passed down to you. Listen in so that you can heal that trauma and not leave it untreated. Brandon Lee is a 5-time Emmy Award winning former news anchor for CBS News based in Phoenix, AZ. Brandon is also a recovered meth & heroin addict since 2010. When he first got sober, Brandon's sponsor told him to go to the art store to pick up supplies and start creating. That's exactly what Brandon did to keep his mind busy during the “alone” times. Brandon says creating art saved his life and it continues to be his main source of ongoing therapy in recovery. Brandon has also received recognition in the art world for his abstract style painting. He was just nominated in 2021 for the Phoenix Art Museum's “Emerging Artist Award”. Brandon's podcast, “Escaping Rock Bottom”, focuses on mental health. The podcast goes in-depth on all things addiction by talking with addicts in recovery about their experience, strength, and hope. His podcast is currently being used as a daily workshop at more than two dozen treatment centers across the country. Brandon is also a motivational/keynote speaker at mental health summits – most recently the keynote speaker for the Alcohol & Drug Abuse Certification Board of Georgia's annual conference with medical professionals.

In this podcast, we discuss the illusion of fear and reveal that fear:Is responsible for more damage than most people realise when it is unacknowledged.Triggers chronic pain, a relatively new finding in the research of chronic pain and a factor in families of active addicts and alcoholics.Has our brains on alert 24/7 and is the major cause of stress-related dysfunction such as fear of further pain, leading to avoidance behaviour.Inhabits the lives of dysfunctional addictive families, causing anxiety, denial, anger and depression.Is the ultimate illusion and is overcome by qualities just as intangible but real in their own way: love and faith.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 28, 2022) – Historically, studies have shown that Black individuals are less likely to seek and accept mental health care due to concerns regarding stigma as well as mistrust of professionals caused by documented racial inequities in treatment. In Lexington, the Black population represents approximately 15% of residents, but in 2020, Black people represented only 7% of the population receiving community mental health services in Kentucky's Bluegrass region. The Neighborhood Healers Project, a new pilot project led by University of Kentucky researchers, aims to reduce this equity gap by addressing the stigma and helping Black Lexingtonians access the mental health services they need. Candice Hargons, Ph.D., the study's principal investigator (PI) says the five-year project, funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), will create a support system of “first-responders” within Lexington's Black community who are trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health crises and connect people to needed resources. Hargons, a licensed psychologist and associate professor in the UK College of Education's Department of Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology, appears on this episode of ‘Behind the Blue' to discuss how this project will impact the Lexington community and beyond.

In this second episode of a two-part mini-series, we feature Dr. Nadia Haddad, a Colorado psychiatrist, and Dr. Ricky Dhaliwal, an emergency medicine physician, as they discuss the various treatment modalities for substance-induced psychosis. They explore pharmacologic treatments, inpatient and outpatient treatments, and ways that emergency providers can improve their care for psychiatric patients with comorbid medical conditions. Lastly, they consider the different causes for repeat visits from mentally ill patients.    Key Points:   Pharmacologic treatments for substance-induced psychosis are similar to those for other types of psychosis; these include medications like Zyprexa, Haldol, and, as a third-line treatment, IM Thorazine.  Droperidol is used more commonly in the emergency setting, compared with the psychiatric setting.  Given the risk for respiratory depression from Zyprexa combined with benzodiazepines, psychiatrists may choose to use Thorazine or Haldol/Ativan/Benadryl instead.  It is important to reassess patients after substances wear off to determine whether they meet criteria for admission to inpatient psychiatry, though psychiatric assessments are limited by geographic constraints. The admitting psychiatry team will reassess the patient to differentiate substance-induced psychosis vs other psychoses; often this includes obtaining collateral. Helpful notes from the ED include: medications administered or restraints placed (can help extrapolate a patient's level of agitation), vital signs, prior records.  Some people will be more open about suicidality while intoxicated and less open about it while sober so it is important to obtain additional information for corroboration.  On average, patients stay in the detox unit for 3-4 days, though some may stay longer for protracted substance-induced psychosis if they have a long-standing history of daily substance use.  It is important to discharge patients with quick follow-up and potential placement into the various mental health programs including partial hospitalization, residential, or outpatient programs. Emergency rooms can improve by taking psychiatric patients seriously, especially when they are transferred to the hospital from a psychiatric facility for medical management.  Repeat visits stem partially from the ambivalence that accompanies substance use disorders, including patients' difficulty in giving up the substance due the purpose it may serve in their lives.  Many substance use disorder programs are siloed from the medical system, which pose a challenge to interdisciplinary communication. 

Today's Show Hello, and welcome to episode 35 The JOY Factor. My guest today is trauma specialist and substance abuse counselor Stephanie Snyder. You can read more about Stephanie's background here .  Listen in as Stephanie shares her unique perspective on joy and healing as it relates to substance addiction and recovery. What We'll Learn Healing is a mind, body and soul experience. When someone starts the journey of healing and goes from surviving to thriving they are able to see joy and beauty in the little things and eventually the bigger things!  A recovery saying Stephanie references: I can hear the birds sing again. You have recovered enough and have healed enough that you can hear things that are outside of yourself instead of only being able to focus on what's going on inside of you.  Questions to consider when considering getting help. We need to speak out against mental health stigmas. Labels dehumanize people.  Treatment success depends on having safe, non-judgmental space to address the fear and intimidation clients may feel. Recovery and the development of self-worth develops in phases. Families need to heal together. It's not just one person, the whole family unit is impacted.  Society has put so many expectations on parents. The first thing to help parents understand: This is not your fault.  Our children learn how to cope with things not just through the family unit but from other things they're surrounded by in society. A few considerations regarding medicinal marijuana use. Child's brain is still developing until 21. Just like with alcohol and cigarettes, there's a legal age and biological factors that need to be factored in.  Very important to educate yourself before you engage in any kind of medicine based treatment. You can't advocate for yourself and learn how to take care of yourself if you don't know what's going into your body.  Consult a professional and educate yourself.  Medical grade and CBD products are very different from street marijuana.  The amount of fentanyl on the streets is scary. Very easily absorbed through the skin.  If someone is considering medical marijuana I advocate for them to do it the safe, legal way and not just buy it off the street.  Favorite quote: “My goal is to do better than I did yesterday.” Resources  Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration Know the risks of marijuana National Institute on Drug Abuse  Trauma Informed Substance Abuse Treatment   Thank you for Listening It is a true honor to bring this podcast to you and I am so grateful that you took the time to listen.

In this podcast, we illustrate how smart, sophisticated people can also fall prey to a disease that is an equal opportunity predator.We learn that:Educated, smart people have more difficulty accepting that they need help overcoming addiction than do ordinary mortals like you and me.According to the experts, this is a class of people who have developed a sophisticated defence system that creates a wall of denial as to the seriousness of their condition.There is a certain arrogance that stands in the way of surrendering their old way of thinking. They think they can study this thing, understand this thing, and defeat it in their own.The turning point for many of these people has not yet been reached: they must make the journey from the head to the heart in order for the internal changes to begin.One does not have to be religious and “God-fearing” to accept the idea of a power greater than oneself. All it takes is the willingness to surrender one's old way of thinking and accept that “I am powerless over alcohol or drugs on my own.”

Inspired by a listener email, Kate and Jes take the opportunity to discuss anger in this episode. They discuss different types and how they deal with it.

Clark Lagemann is the CEO of Avidon Health which is helping organizations support employees as they recover from the disruption of COVID and adjust to the reconfiguration of the workplace. While many people are leaving their jobs for more income, Avidon is finding that employees are also seeking resources to address substance abuse, stress, and pain. Clark explains, "The kinds of substances really expanded so significantly prior to COVID then post-COVID. Before COVID, we could talk about one in 10 adults who reported anxiety and depressive disorder. Since COVID and in 2020, that shot up to four in 10, so nearly 40% of American workers suffer from mental health issues." "So things that they're going to rely on to help them get through this, alcohol, a substance, pills. Opioids are very common, then you can go into more illicit drugs. So, the most common things that we see in the workplace that we're doing for large organizations are alcohol addiction and typically some sort of prescribed medications." "Substance use in the workplace causes absenteeism, lost productivity, and healthcare expenses. That's from the employer, so those are big expenses, soft and hard costs, but the employee is facing the same thing. They're missing out on work, and they have lifestyle side effects because they're now suffering and they're going through these challenges. So, the opportunity that we have really is to create awareness. We start talking about that personalization first, but then creating awareness, making sure employees know what's available to them, and doing it in a discrete setting." @AvidonHealth #DigitalHealthCoaching #SubstanceUseSupport #CorporateWellness #CorporateWellBeing #SubstanceAbuse #Addiction avidonhealth.com Download the transcript here

Health officials preparing to broaden the reach of a national mental-health crisis line are working to strengthen an overstretched network of call centers that didn't connect with about one in six callers in recent years, a Wall Street Journal data review showed. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline will transition on July 16 to a three-digit number for calls and texts, 988, from a 10-digit number that has operated since 2005 in coordination with local crisis centers. The line's operators, including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the nonprofit Vibrant Emotional Health, said they expect an increase in calls to the shorter and more memorable 988 number during the next year. The new 988 line launches this week.

988 Mental Health Crisis Hotline Rolls Out Across Country The consolidated 988 national mental health hotline rolled out over the weekend, as part of a broader effort to fill gaps in emergency mental health response and access throughout the country. The effort, in large part spearheaded by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in conjunction with national and local partners streamlines the public's ability to talk to a crisis counselor. Years in the making, federal and state governments have spent lots of money to prepare for the rollout, though some questions remain about different states and call centers' ability to handle the volume of calls. The 988 lifelines, as a national helpline, functions 24/7 providing support to people in crisis. The helpline is available for both calls and text messages, giving options to people in crisis for calling for help. Health organizations and other organizations that serve individuals at risk of suicide are advised to promote the 988 helpline through community education campaigns and outreach.

IN THE NEWS:In the wake of Supreme Court decisions revoking civil rights, Governor Glenn Youngkin claimed that Virginia law protects same-sex marriage--in truth, the state constitution has an anti-gay amendment passed in 2006.Also in the news: Census data shows that Fairfax County is the largest-growing county in the state over the last 50 years, while Norfolk has experienced the most population decline. Still, the prognosis for Northern Virginia's growth is grim, thanks to the cost of housing and the recent rise of telework.

This podcast is about the struggle of getting and staying sober in the early days.We learn that:The vast majority of recovering people don't get sober “for good” the first time out, and that is not surprising given the lack of knowledge about the true nature of their condition.There are two main traps that need to be taken into account in the early going. The first of these is the idea that “we” can have a normal romantic relationship after just a short time in sobriety.The fact is that our emotions have been twisted and warped by substance abuse and we are only setting ourselves up for a relapse if things go wrong. And they always do.Going it alone is another of those myths that has to be entirely smashed before we have a decent chance of getting and staying sober. Isolation and loneliness are the twin killers of addicts and alcoholics.The bottom line for those of us who have enjoyed long-term sobriety is that we have acquired a power greater than ourselves, and we are never alone as members of a Fellowship.

Guest Interviewer extraordinaire Amanda guides the conversation as son and father describe the pursuit of addiction recovery as a family.  We hear many stories from persons recovering, and a few stories of families recovering from the impact of addiction. For the first time the two join together to describe their mutual struggles; showing the power of compassion, kindness, and mutual support. Michael's recovery journey has been anything but orthodox; which fits his personality, and gives hope and meaning to the concept of multiple pathways. Many persons with addiction don't benefit from traditional industry dogma, and need to find their own individualized way. Patients don't fail treatment; treatment fails patients.

In this week's episode of the Spine & Nerve podcast, Dr. Julie Hastings connects with Dr. Krystyna Holland, PT, DPT to learn about trauma informed care. Trauma informed care has many definitions, including some fantastic work done by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. One definition is a consistent and intentional effort to reduce our propensity for harm. Another describes it as an approach in the human service field that assumes that an individual is more likely than not to have a history of trauma. Listen in as Drs. Hastings and Holland discuss this very important topic and share some tips on how to better show up for our patients.

In this episode we will discuss "Magic Mushrooms" with our guest, Del Jolly.   ​Del Jolly, Co-Founder of Umbo, Unlimited Sciences and expert in functional mushrooms, states the research at Unlimited Sciences collects real-world data on psychedelic use so that we can more quickly understand how to use these drugs safely and effectively for our health and overall wellbeing.  Advocate & Educator. Focused on shifting the cultural narrative, Del worked as part of Decriminalize Denver and Charlotte's Web CBD before co-founding Unlimited Sciences, a psychedelic research nonprofit partnered with the likes of Johns Hopkins University. He believes functional mushrooms have just as much, if not more, potential than psychedelics and is committed to exploring and unearthing everything we can. “With a focus on mental health becoming an important topic, the ways in which we address these issues are changing. Decriminalizing psychedelics, before legalization, is the most equitable solution we currently have under our system. And allowing humans to take their health and well-being into their own hands, without the fear of criminal repercussions isn't only the right thing to do, but the moral thing. Decriminalization and then the legalization of psychedelics is long overdue,” says Jolly. ​Magic mushrooms are wild or cultivated mushrooms that contain psilocybin, a naturally-occurring psychoactive and hallucinogenic compound. Psilocybin is considered one of the most well-known psychedelics, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administrations (SAMHSA).1 Psilocybin is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning that it has a high potential for misuse and has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
