Episode notes

Is the brain model of addiction fact or fiction? We explore neuroscience, opioid receptors, and the opioid crisis. Examining CDC/DEA guidelines, law enforcement's role, and DSM rules, we question if they explain opioid addiction. We'll look at fentanyl, Narcan, and the idea that the brain model is a myth. Join us to understand addiction, the opioid crisis, and public health's challenges.
