This week's episode of our podcast is a deeply insightful conversation with George Joseph, the founder and CEO of Positive Recovery Centers based in Houston, Texas. With over 30 years of experience, George has established himself as a leading authority in the addiction field, making significant contributions to the understanding of substance use disorders and recovery.
As part of a special #SiriusXM feature airing on December 17 at 1 PM EST on channel 129, George and I explore critical topics that are increasingly relevant in today’s society. Our discussion delves into the nuances of #marijuana use and its effects on the developing brain, shedding light on how early exposure can shape neurological pathways and influence behaviors in adolescents and young adults.
We also tackle the harrowing #fentanyl crisis, examining its unprecedented impact on communities and discussing the broader implications for public health. George shares valuable insights into the challenges posed by this potent opioid, including its role in the current landscape of addiction and recovery.
Additionally, we touch upon the effects of #alcohol as a centerpiece in the addiction narrative, highlighting its widespread consequences and the stigma often associated with alcohol use disorders. Listeners can expect a thoughtful and engaging dialogue filled with expert analysis and practical advice for those seeking to navigate the complexities of addiction recovery.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear from a true leader in the field. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these pressing issues and the paths toward healing and recovery.
