Podcasts about substance use disorders

Why did I want to talk with Daniel Hearn on the Knockin' Doorz Down podcast? I am your host Jason LaChance, and I spoke with Daniel Hearn because we share a mutual passion for ending the stigma around addiction recovery and those suffering from mental health issues.  Daniel is an active member of the addiction recovery community and a loud voice to end the stigma so that no one thinks they have to suffer in silence. The Hard Knox Talks team prides itself in raising awareness around Substance Use Disorders and Mental Illness. They have found that recognizing the unmanageability of our thoughts and actions is often the first step toward recovery.   The lived experience brought them to this point. Daniel Hearn has himself been walking the road to recovery for several years. His vision is to help those who would decide to walk that path if the resources were available. That's why they're here. To give voice to those silenced by stigma—expected to act appropriately while in the grips of insanity. They are here to help those who are lost as we once were, to grow as we are, and to show the world that the lie is dead. We do recover.  This is Daniel Hearn in his own words on Knockin' Doorz Down.

In our last episode, we introduced you to the central character of the Netflix docuseries, The Pharmacist, Dan Schneider. Dan told us he had no idea his son was using crack before he was murdered in New Orleans in the late 90's. While police didn't show much interest in his son's case, Dan took it upon himself to use every investigative tool at the time to find his son's killer. But the story doesn't end there. In his role as a pharmacist, Dan was among the first to spot the opioid epidemic in this country and actually do something about it, shutting down pill mill doctors and pushing for a prescription monitoring program in his state. Dan has never stopped pushing for change to save lives, lost unnecessarily to drugs. Now he's turning his attention to the availability of medically assisted treatment, or MAT for short. He has started a coalition and your host Angela Kennecke is now a part of it.  Dan talks about this partnership with Dr. Arun Gupta.

White Flag: A Memoir with Judy L. Mandel Raising the white flag is a universal symbol of surrender, a symbol of the hope that our vulnerability will be shielded from further harm and we can finally lay down our burden.

Mandel in her searingly honest memoir about loss and addiction, WHITE FLAG is the further exploration of the author's family, so movingly portrayed in her previous New York Times bestselling memoir, Replacement Child. JUDY L. MANDEL, a former reporter and marketing executive, holds an MFA in creative writing from Stony Brook University. Her first book was the New YorkTimes bestseller, Replacement Child. She is co-founder of the Replacement Child Forum.

October 12, 2022 — The Measure B Oversight Committee is seeking a contractor to provide substance use disorder treatment. Measure B is a sales tax initiative to fund mental health facilities that passed in 2017. The tax was a half-cent for the first five years, and has now decreased to an eighth of a cent. An eleven-member oversight committee is tasked with making recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on how to spend the money. Last month's meeting of the Measure B Oversight Committee included a discussion about a $3.1 million proposal from the Ford Street Project to offer substance use disorder treatment, or SUDT. Last week, Behavioral Health Director Dr. Jeanine Miller, who sits on the committee, spoke with the Board of Supervisors about what they'd like to see in a request for proposals, or RFP, from contractors competing to offer the service. Supervisor Glenn McGourty was shocked to learn that 75 people in Mendocino County died last year from drug overdose. Miller clarified that the number ruled out people who intentionally took their own lives. “Really, really terrible,” McGourty remarked, adding that he thinks the number points to the need for treatment. Supervisor Dan Gjerde wanted to make sure Measure B funds wouldn't be used to pay for a program that could be funded by the state. “My concern with the Ford Street Project isn't what they're proposing. My concern was that they were seeking local tax dollars for what I suspect the state would be happy to fund,” he explained. “For example, the state's making significant money available for homeless housing, or for people who are in danger of becoming homeless, and I would think that people who have serious substance abuse issues are certainly in danger of becoming homeless. So I would just be concerned if we were to use local tax dollars, which are very precious and minimal, even if it's Measure B funds, to pay for something that we think the state is likely to fund.” Miller told him the details haven't all been hammered out yet, and she was monitoring the availability of state grants. Supervisor Ted Williams signaled that he is likely to vote in favor of a proposal requesting evidence-based treatment plans that meet with the approval of local doctors. Miller suggested inviting some of them to help write the proposal. “I appreciate the RFP. I think that's the right process, given the dollar amount. We have finite funds. I would prefer (to) see evidence-based, medically supervised substance abuse treatment. Is that a possibility?” Williams asked Miller. Miller told him “we can put out a request for whatever type of services we want…in that RFP we can put in a request for specific services, or all of the services, and then get the proposals we get, and go off of those by opening up types of SUDT (substance abuse disorder treatment) services.” WIlliams told her that “I don't want to guide that process, as the county supervisor. You're our expert. I want to trust you. It would be helpful if we could involve local physicians. When I have local physicians calling me and telling me they don't support what we're doing, that it may have benefits, but is it the best use of funds, that's concerning. It's a red flag. Is there a way early in the process to make sure that we're including local physicians so we at least capture their ideas about what they need?” Miller said discussions at the Measure B Oversight Committee meeting had included a conversation about the composition of a stakeholder group as part of writing the RFP, “so we can definitely include a couple of medical community members in that RFP to get their feedback,” she said. Miller also assured Williams that the RFP would come back to the full Board of Supervisors for its approval before it is posted. Measure B funds have also been used to purchase a behavioral health training center in Redwood Valley. Miller told the Board that although the training center is coming in $285,000 under budget, more IT equipment is needed, and there's a marketing campaign underway to rent the hall. It's mostly unused, even as the memory of pandemic restrictions fades. There is also a Measure B funded Crisis Residential Treatment facility in Ukiah, where people in moderate psychiatric crisis can spend up to thirty days in treatment. It's currently $264,000 under budget. The facility opened in April, so it is still too early to tell if initial financial projections of a neutral impact on the budget were accurate. A mobile crisis response team of three mental healthcare staff working with the sheriff's department and the Ukiah police department has responded to 212 calls so far. An architect is designing the tear-down of an old nursing home on Whitmore Lane in Ukiah to build a Measure-B funded psychiatric health facility, or puff, on the site. The original estimate was $19.5 million, but that estimate has grown by about a million. The current estimated completion date for the construction is June of 2025.

Today, Dr. Marc Fishman helps us better understand Substance Use Disorders (SUDs), the impact of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and other SUDs on the country and the public health landscape, and the steps being taken to treat patients, enhance the quality of care delivered, and improve lives. Dr. Fishman, an addiction Psychiatrist, is the Medical Director of Maryland Treatment Centers and an Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins Department of Psychiatry. *This episode is brought to you in collaboration with the Addiction Medicine Practice-based Research and Quality Improvement Network (AMNet).  Resources for this episode: Addiction and Substance Use Disorders - American Psychiatric Association Substance Use and Co-Occurring Mental Disorders - National Institute of Mental Health Addiction and Substance Misuse Reports and Publications - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services   Drug Overdose Deaths in the U.S. - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  

A new study found a nearly 50 percent gap in services for substance use disorder treatment, prevention, recovery and harm reduction in Oregon. Researchers at the Oregon Health and Science University and Portland State University School of Public Health surveyed more than 160 organizations across the state to help quantify the service gaps, which also included barriers to culturally relevant care. For example, fewer than one in five of the organizations surveyed were able to provide services tailored to the LGBTQIA+ community, and one in four of the organizations could not offer any language interpretation services for clients. Joining us to discuss the findings is Katie Lenahan, the study's lead author and a research project manager at the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health.

Kelly Brown has been sober since 2008 after a 30 year drinking career.  Her journey towards recovery was not easy.  In and out of the rooms for 4 years, she struggled to let go of the perceived comfort of alcohol and the idea she would never be happy without it.  Multiple rehabs, detoxes, IOPs and counselors were not piercing through the wall of fear she had created over decades of addiction. That changed once she was out of options and given the gift of desperation.Kelly grew up in a suburb outside of New York City and lived in Chicago, Los Angeles, Istanbul, and NYC before settling down in the Scranton area in 2008.  Her professional experience includes executive recruiting, human resources, media, and advertising. Since 2013, Kelly has worked for a local non-profit.  Today, her career is beyond her wildest dreams, just like the rest of her life.  #recoveryispossible #recovery #substanceusedisorder #awakening #nyc #lalaland #chicago #istanbul #scranton  Support the show

Last year in the U.S., more than 100,000 people died of drug overdoses. It's a staggering statistic that was unthinkable just a few years ago. A paper by Dr. Honora Englander and attorney Corey Davis in the New England Journal of Medicine took hospitals and policy-makers to task last month for not doing enough to support and engage people who use drugs and who are hospitalized. They write, "The United States is in the throes of a decades-long exacerbation of drug-related harm. Hospitals are a key domain for implementing person-first, evidence-based interventions for reducing that harm. Yet despite the obvious need, hospitals have been slow to enact reforms to improve the health of people who use drugs. We believe that systemic reform, led by the federal government, is necessary to mitigate the ongoing crisis of drug-related harm." † In this episode they talk with Seán about current impediments to the best care possible and their vision for improving standards of care nationwide. ..Honora Englander, M.D.Professor of MedicineDirector/PI, Improving Addiction Care Team (IMPACT)Division of Hospital MedicineSection of Addiction Medicine in DGIMDepartment of Medicine, Oregon Health & Science UniversityPortland, Ore...Corey Davis, J.D., M.P.H.S.Deputy Director, Southeastern Region OfficeDirector, Harm Reduction Legal ProjectNetwork for Public Health LawEdina, Minn...† Englander, H. & Davis, C.

Dr. Peter Amato is revolutionizing today's Holistic Healthcare Model and is also a world renouned leader in Addiction RecoveryA revolution is quietly taking hold as patients and recovering addicts become more and more dissatisfied with the mainstream healthcare system that fails them time and again. This dissatisfaction fuels a search for answers and new truths.  And the truth is, we have answers! As a pioneer in Integrative Medicine, Dr. Amato has been healing patients for over 25 years from acute and chronic conditions.  His enlightened and forward-thinking approach to wellness addresses not only symptoms of disease (including addiction recovery), but gets at the root cause to allow for enduring wellness.  He has forged a unique approach to the the 11th Step of the "12 Step Alcoholics Anonymous Program." Dr. Amato's approach requires an appreciation for the connection between mind, body, and spirit - and how all three play a key role in your overall health and/or enduring sobriety/recovery. This is the exact point where, and why, traditional healthcare approaches repeatedly fall short.Dr. Amato is a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine and Founder of Inner Harmony Wellness Centers.  Co-founder (with Andrew Weil, M.D.) and past chair of the National Integrative Medicine Council.Consultant, cutting edge healthcare study with colleagues from Harvard, Duke, Georgetown, and other prestigious Institutions: “Mapping the Emergence of Integrative Medicine.”Consultant, American Cancer Society, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).  Designed and implemented a holistic cancer care program using alternative modalities. International lecturer on such topics as consciousness and culture, wellness and personal growth, engaged spirituality for businesses, and the Inner Harmony Approach to Enlightened Living.Consultant, transformational business individuals, and organizations.  Areas of focus include education, health care, addiction recovery, and organizational development.Recipient of 5 Research Grants from the US Dept of Education, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Susan G Komen Foundation, American Cancer Society, and Pennsylvania Dept of Health. Additionally, Dr. Amato was a Managing Partner of Integrative Life Centers.  He has conducted and published his research in many peer-reviewed medical journals.  Together with the Inner Harmony Group, he has served as a consultant on various corporate workforces to develop forward-thinking business models worldwide.https://www.innerharmonywellness.com/dr-peter-amato/https://harmonymountaininstitute.com/Support the show
