Now, once people start doing that, depending on what it is, you know, if it's heroin or fentanyl, they can become physically addicted to it very quickly or alcohol over time. But I think the definition can be expanded to a lot of other things, maybe even things that seem mundane.

And we can have addictive behaviors at different points in our life and maybe have the same behavior that sometimes is addictive and sometimes isn't. This is very mundane, but sometimes I'm binge-watching Netflix because I'm on a plane and don't have anything to do or I'm sick and I can't get out of bed.

And other times I might have a really stressful day or have something going on that I don't want to deal with. And I end up watching TV too late and then I don't sleep. And now is that a addiction that I need to get treatment for or be pulled away from my family for? Probably not.

But I think in talking about addiction, we want to understand what is it that people are using, whether it's a substance or a behavior, and why are they using it? While I say it's Addiction is not the problem. It's the solution. It's a solution that becomes very problematic for people. And, you know, you will know this better than than I will be able to explain it better than I would.

But, you know, they get. a benefit in their brain and body for feeling the sense of relief that they'll feel when they use the substance. You know, one of the doctors who initially supported the people who founded Alcoholics Anonymous, his name was Dr. Silkworth. And he wrote this opinion and he said, men and women drink essentially because they like the effect produced by alcohol.

I believe that effect is relief. So people are looking for some sort of relief. And the question has to be, I think when we're talking about addiction, what is it that they're looking for relief from?

Let's talk about the most acute first. So I serve as a chief clinical officer for Guardian Recovery. We do treatment in different states. You know, we serve thousands of people a year and we have medical detoxes that we start with. So if somebody needs to be detoxed from alcohol or drugs, they're going to come in. We're not going to start asking questions about what the underlying stressor is.

We're going to first do medical assessments, nursing assessments. Sometimes we have to send them to the ER if they're in dire need or they're so acute that they can't even be in the facility that we have. We're going to just get them physically stabilized. And as we're getting them physically stabilized, the thing with addiction is a lot of people just say, stop.
