  • Summary

  • Prescription opioids are used to treat pain following surgery or injury, or for certain health conditions. In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in misuse of prescription opioids leading to addiction. Once addicted, it can be hard to stop. On today’s episode, Dr. Jackie is joined by Shawn Madgett, the CEO of Consecrated Care Inc, an opioid treatment facility in Georgia whose purpose is to provide individualized care to foster successful recovery and a dependence-free lifestyle. They discuss:

    • First steps to recognizing an addiction and make a change
    • The step-by-step process of checking into an opioid facility to get the help needed
    • Opioid addiction treatments and therapies available, along with costs
