  • Summary

  • We will evaluate, discuss and educate on all types of addiction topics. However, we will highlight the nuanced differences between the medical field (Dr. Heather- Addiction Physician) and those with the disease of addiction (Josh- Certified Peer Recovery Support Specialist). Episodes will not only bring you the specifics of addiction including the neurobiology of addiction and how that translates into the 'real world' but they will also bring you interviews from individuals in early or long-term recovery, therapists, family members, friends, clergy, treatment providers and so much more! We would love to hear from you, whether you have a question, suggestion, recommendation, request or even if you'd like to be a guest on the show!

    65. Alcohol Part 3- Adolescents
    Apr 23 2024
    Alcohol Awareness Month Part 3! A significant number of adolescents use alcohol (15.1% in the last month in a survey of 12-20 year olds), 3 times the number who used tobacco products (5%) and 1.3X the number who used cannabis (11.8%). Youth tend to partake in binge drinking at higher rates, leading to significant acute health complications, accidents, and risky behavior. 20% of all high school students who consumed alcohol in the last month either drove after drinking or rode in a car driven by someone who had been drinking. Not only does alcohol result in these complications, but earlier alcohol use increases the risk of alcohol use disorder later in life. This episode will go through this data in more detail as well as review many other youth specific concerns regarding alcohol. You'll also get to hear how Heather and Josh's high school experiences varied in regard to alcohol!

    Part 2 of Alcohol during Alcohol Awareness Month! In this episode we will further discuss the 'how much' concept. When is drinking considered 'at risk' vs 'acceptable'? (Disclaimer- no amount of any kind of alcohol is considered 'safe'). We will also discuss what is actually considered one drink. Finally, we will dive deeper into the effects of alcohol and tolerance.
