The bridge sounds like an amazing device!! Ive had multiple patients desiring to transition to antagonist therapy but couldn’t get past that withdrawal period. I would love to get more frequent access to these genetic testing and the devices… This is so important. I’m surprised it’s not best practice
Thank you for this video! It was very informative and interesting! As a nurse and a recovering addict I’m very interested in learning more about addiction medicine and hope to move into that area of nursing to help others recover as well. This was just the kind of information I was looking for! Thank you for all you do!
I don't know where you are a nurse- I'm assuming a hospital. I want to say to you as a recovering addict myself - please advocate for the emergency department to start MAT therapy with methadone and Subutex in the emergency department. I have been to hospitals with both policies- the abhorrent practice of turning them away, no help for opiate detox, and quite frankly being very judgemental and condescending and hospitals that adopted the practice of immediately starting methadone or Subutex (only Subutex because Suboxone can start withdrawal for people a very terrible situation and dangerous) but at the choice of the patient. I chose methadone. They dosed me right there in the ER- I also had life threatening medical happening at the time so was also admitted into the hospital. They then gave me a grant to continue treatment once I was released from the hospital four months later. I am still in treatment to this day and that was five years ago. They literally saved my life. No doubt about it. Had they not offered that help with methadone I would have went back to homelessness and IV drug use and would have died. I actually had been to a hospital a wk prior that admitted me but refused pain relief or addiction medication and I signed myself out AMA because it was too painful after two days. The second hospital I went to two days later because I knew I was going to die I was too weak and praying that the new hospital would actually help. Thank God they had a different policy. I am now researching ways to completely detox from methadone which is scary but welcome. Without the methadone I would be dead and my daughter motherless. These policies should be adopted every where and inside jails. I believe in it while heartedly. Good luck and thank you for caring. It does matter. Btw- the second hospital didn't just help me, there were several other patients at that time that I met in that four months who were in similar situations. It was a hospital wide policy they started. I even knew another friend who went to the ER after me recommending it, and even though he was released by the ER because he didn't have life threatening medical issues they still dosed him there, wrote a prescription, and helped to find a doctor's office for the long term. Absolutely amazing.
I would like to know more about the people who's brain do not restore equilibrium. The brains that do not go back to normal function - What is the recommendation for those people?
Opioids and also amphetamines and alcohol and noods and trauma and reactions and also… multi use disorder… lots of neural diversity and reality. Services and beyond.

Community… rights of individuals and groups… streams and pools and the space of better.

Mental health and well beyond. Coding and works of better.

Multi streams of medical providers and beyond. It’s not just one discipline.
I’m in Arizona where can I get the bridge device?
Opioids and also amphetamines and alcohol and noods and trauma and reactions and also… multi use disorder… lots of neural diversity and reality. Services and beyond.
Diversity matters… a lot.
Intentions and actual… systems of loops and realities of usurpations and half handing and abuse. Breathe.
So bad
