The opioid crisis has been wreaking havoc on our society for many years now. Whether prescribed as pain management for chronic pain or post-surgery maintenance, or other gateway drugs, the impact can be seen across the country. On our show today we have guests Amy Heusinger, a nurse practitioner working in interventional plan management and addiction, and Physician Assistant, William "Norm" Carlson, who also works in pain management and addiction, both at Carolina Specialty Care. We hear from them about the addiction program at Carolina Specialty Care, the prevalence of drug addiction, and how pain management can sometimes lead to addiction problems. They talk to listeners about the demographic they see, how they transition patients from overusing their opioids, and how motivation plays a big role in treatment success. For all this, and much more, don’t miss out on this episode, so tune in now.
