Substance Use Disorder: Recognition, Intervention, & Treatment

Send us a text

In today’s episode, Matthew has a conversation with Rodrigo Garcia.  If you are a regular listener, you’ll recognize that name since Rigo has been on this show multiple times over the years.  He is a Nurse Anesthetist and the CEO of Parkdale Center for Professionals, a treatment center for substance use disorder that is geared for the healthcare provider and professional worker population.  Matthew wanted to have a discussion with Rigo about substance use disorder in terms of recognizing it in ourselves and our coworkers, how to address this if we suspect it, how an intervention is done, and how treatment works.  They discuss the questions that most people have in regards to this difficult subject.  All of the resources discussed are in the show notes so please do not hesitate to reach out to Rigo or call a helpline if you or anyone you know is struggling.
