What a scary, but accurate analogy “2 out of 10 of those cars don't have breaks”. I'm glad to see this talked about and bring it together to empower individuals: opioid dependence, surgery, trauma, mental health, support systems, technology, accessibility and a tailored, data driven approach. I am glad to see a preventative approach.
Great story and work. I wish that medical community cared that much about drug addicts. People who may not be a part of that group BUT have to withdrawal off of any opioid. Number one cause of death in USA ages 22-44 is overdose and these group of people are the most neglected. How we are treating substance use disorder with 1939 information is irresponsible. Again, thank you for the work you're doing IT ALL MATTERS and you may have saved Samantha from a lifetime battle or possibly death we will never know. The data reflects that current opioid treatments must not be working if number one cause of death ages 22-44 is overdose. Can not imagine how the recovery rates would increase having 24/7 access to someone during the first year or maybe longer for the addicted. It's a brutal road my friend I know I am an addict on suboxone with no end in sight. Blessings
Super insightful, especially the distinction between addiction and dependency; I've have always felt that post-treatment care is often overlooked, especially the importance of how we approach it The stuff you spoke about can begin being applied at home right now with education and shared empathy!
Thank you for sharing this incredibly important information and for educating us about the difference between dependency and addiction. Our society and health systems desperately needs this solution to prevent opioid addiction and help those needing surgeries to recover in an empowered way, minimizing adverse effects from prescribed opioids. Lucid Lane's empathetic and remote care solution is a game changer!
Your impressive and insightful message has the potential to make a difference in the lives of those considering surgery and can be applied with education and empathy right now.
There are approximately 2 million people in the US who struggle with OUD. There are over 50 million people who live with complex or disabling pain. Withdrawal lasts a few days. Disabling pain can last for months, even years. Many of us have complex medical conditions that are incurable and lifelong. Prohibition and the under-prescribing of opioids for pain is why we have skyrocketing illicit polysubstance overdoses. Not pain patients, and not pain meds. Opioids save lives.
Sadly the need for this type of innovation has never been greater …. And needed. Hid speed getting this into the lives of those needing help.
I didn't know how mindfulness can help in such an impactful way, thanks for sharing the knowledge
