Our guests for today's episode of the podcast are Dr. Ashlie Martin, Medical Director, Addiction Medicine Detox/MAT, and Wendy Donohoe, Sr. Director, CQDX & Opiate Treatment Services Detox. In the interview, Dr. Martin emphasizes that withdrawal management involves more than just medication; it encompasses a compassionate environment of sobriety often misconceived as cold and sterile, provided by understanding professionals in the field of addiction. Wendy Donohoe details the collaborative approach in post-withdrawal care, where a team of counselors works with clients to create discharge plans fostering engagement in treatment, highlighting the dual role of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) in addressing physical well-being and counseling in transforming negative thought patterns for sustainable recovery.
