Show Notes

Happy Near Year to 2024.  In this Season 4 Introduction Dr. Lev outlines her solution for the overdose crisis. Why are we spending a record billions of dollars on solution and no seeing decrease better results and decreased deaths? Dr. Lev states we are not spending money in the correct proportions to prevent addiction. Dr. Lev presents her outline for solutions based on the historical success of  tobacco and the opioid prescription crisis. Don't we wish we were back in the good 'ol days of doctors over prescribing opioids - we had half as many unintentional overdose deaths as we do today. We fixed that problem with safe prescribing initiatives. How would Dr. Lev take on the current addiction crisis?  Her 3 step approach takes a wider approach with healthcare.
  1. Mental Health
  2. Trust in Medicine and Science, and
  3. Primary Drug Prevention Education
