As San Francisco opens a safe injection site, it’s time to accept harm reduction as a crucial part of addiction treatment.
‘This Is Us’ deals with many types of addiction: pain pill addiction, alcohol addiction, and food addiction. But how accurate is the show?
Amanda S. is a Michigan-based Recovery Advocate for medication assisted treatment, substance use disorder, mental health and chronic pain. She is in long term recovery and uses her story to help others.
The hybrid, online/offline addiction care company Workit Health is dedicated to rigorous standards of social impact performance, ethical and sustainable business practices, as well as accountability and transparency in addiction treatment solutions.
Instead of endlessly arguing with Narcotics Anonymous about medication-assisted treatment being clean, why don’t we focus on building up a community of safe support groups for those on medication-assisted treatment?
Dr. Valerie Mason-John is the co-founder of 8 Step Recovery and one of the leaders in the secular recovery movement. I tracked her down to ask about her history and her own recovery, as well as the movement she’s creating.
At Workit Clinic – Michigan, medical professionals provide medication-assisted treatment like buprenorphine/naloxone (commonly recognized by brand name Suboxone) for addiction to opiates like heroin or pain pills. Meet Kristin, our Head of Clinical Operations.
What if you can’t stop eating? Is there such a thing as ‘eating addiction?’ Your diet is blown, you feel sick, and your roommate is going to wonder what in the world happened to their cookies. You didn’t want any of this to happen. So what gives? Is this what an eating addiction feels like?
Cravings come and go. But when you’re experiencing a craving, it can be impossible to remember that it’s temporary. Gathering go-to coping tools to guide you through cravings is key to successfully sticking to your plan, and not giving in when craving strikes.
New Year’s Eve is the ultimate excuse to party hard. Call it amateur hour, but New Year’s makes drug users everywhere, reformed and not, pause and remember crazy years past. So what can you do on New Year’s, if you aren’t planning to get high?
I’m always thinking of quitting drugs. Because I did it, 8 years ago. And because now I’m Workit’s Community Lead, and I’m making sure all our content is speaking to our community: those looking to quit drugs, those not ready to quit just yet, and those already in recovery from drug addiction.
By now, most of us have stumbled across endless terrifying headlines of opiate addiction, and morbidly graphic images of the toll of the opioid crisis: destroyed lives, overdose, and death. This is where the media goes with coverage of the crisis. When the conversation does deviate from the soaring number of tragic stories and statistics, it tends to veer towards punitive solutions, like changing legislation and catching drug dealers.
Gambling addiction is a commonly known, but little discussed, process addiction. At Workit, we often focus on addictions to substances (we are in an opioid crisis, after all), but there’s another world of addictions, to processes or behaviors. Today, you can gamble without leaving the comfort of your own screen, as online casinos and games make it easy to win or lose from your couch.
If you’ve quit drugs, you’ve probably had using dreams. Especially in early recovery, using (or drinking) dreams are common. Maybe you dream you’ve been forced to use, or forgotten you were sober, or been stuck in a nightmare where you couldn’t quit or sober up.
The truth is out: doctors, lawyers, and politicians are people too. Like the rest of us, they can struggle with moderate to severe substance use disorder, and it’s about time we talk about it. Luckily, more and more professional leaders are opening up about their struggles with addiction, taking on stigma and the cultures within their professions that contributed to keeping them sick.
Let your star sign reveal a strategy to jumpstart your sobriety. Don’t like your sign’s tip? Check out another, as they’re all sure to rocket your recovery towards the wild, wonderful world you want.
Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence in adults. Suboxone should not be taken by individuals who have been shown to be hypersensitive to buprenorphine or naloxone as serious adverse reactions, including anaphylactic shock, have been reported. Taking Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) with other opioid medicines, benzodiazepines, alcohol, or other central nervous system depressants can cause breathing problems that can lead to coma and death. Other side effects may include headaches, nausea, vomiting, constipation, insomnia, pain, increased sweating, sleepiness, dizziness, coordination problems, physical dependence or abuse, and liver problems. For more information about Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) see Suboxone.com, the full Prescribing Information, and Medication Guide, or talk to your healthcare provider. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
