  • Summary

  • On our show we will share facts, research, experiences, and feelings to better understand how to save lives from addiction. No prevention, intervention, nor treatment approach is 100% effective, and many people die every day. By sharing our knowledge, experience, and hope we can move further forward in overcoming addiction. There are gaps between traditional addiction recovery concepts like the disease model, new technologies that many consumers are unaware of like family-centered addiction recovery, new research findings about brain chemistry of addiction and genetic vulnerabilities of addiction, and prevention technologies. Amidst all of these technologies, concepts, and emotions, there is insufficient dialogue between researchers, addicts and families, and practitioners. With Dr. Joe’s breadth of background, passion, and ability, he will facilitate an ongoing dialogue between his guests and a diversity of listeners like you, moving toward greater hope for overcoming addiction.

    Special Encore Presentation: How Do Genetics Affect Drug Use and Addiction?
    Jul 9 2014
    If 100 people use the same amount of the same drug for the first time, why do they all not respond exactly the same? Why do some become hopelessly addicted to nicotine while others quit so easily? Why do those adopted out of a family with many suffering from addiction still become addicted more often than the general population? What is the single biggest contributor to becoming an addict? Genetics. Dr Joe guides listeners of all backgrounds in better understanding the role of genetics in addiction.

    Special Encore Presentation: More Responsive Care for Women With Addiction
    Jul 2 2014
    Some of our audience may assume that since a drug, is a drug, is a drug, and addiction is addiction, that we really do not need to go to the trouble of fine-tuning or adapting addiction treatment for women. Yet, we know from research that the more responsive addition treatment programs are toward increasing engagement and retention, the better the treatment outcome; in the life saving process of addiction recovery. Our very special guest today is Becky Flood, CEO of the New Directions for Women in Calif. She and her staff have been national leaders in providing addiction treatment that is responsive to the needs of women.
