Mm-hmm.
The other questions I think get into the camp of recovery, which is how now are we getting at what's behind the drug use?
How are we actually treating addiction?
I would make the statement that a lot of the medications that we use treat the symptoms of addiction, which are drug use.
But as far as treating the addiction itself, which is the drive to pathologically use drugs, that requires a little bit more nuance and a little bit more work.
I believe so.
I think my favorite expression to say with patients while they're in my office is that drugs and alcohol are not the answer.
but they make us forget the question.
I think therapy and inter-longitudinal aftercare are really big things that take a lot of resources.
Aftercare, therapy, these are huge initiatives that are not accessible to all patients.
But I really think that's where we get to the why, the question behind the drug use.
What's the question you're looking at?
Why are we as people who use drugs and alcohol problematically?
Why are we so uncomfortable with who we are?
What are we running from?
And what's the maybe trauma or past events that we don't want to look at?
Yeah, it's a great question.
So the main medications to treat opioid use disorder, there's actually three major medications, those being naltrexone, buprenorphine, and methadone.
Methadone is a full opioid agonist.
I'm not going to speak about that a lot today just because the treatment center where I work doesn't use methadone.
