Special Guest: Dr. Chris, Prison Psychiatrist. Why Drugs In Prison?
Download Episode 060!
Super excited to post this episode! We spent the entire show with Dr. Chris, talking about addiction, abuse and treatment of patients in the prison system.
Dr. Chris works in a prison and is woefully understaffed for the amount of work and the number of inmates she and her peers are charged with helping. The prison she works in takes a treatment approach to prisoners with drug abuse problems, which is extremely common, and tries to treat the real reasons why this patience are abusing drugs in the first place.
We get a Doctors view of addiction in the US prison system, and maybe, what we can do to make it better.

Prince Really Died From Rx Drug Overdose. Now We're Pissed!
SHHRP 057
We know we've talked about the insane prescription drug crisis in the US before. Lot's of times before. But now that it has been confirmed that Prince (and a long list of other celebrities) died from drugs he was taking WITH a prescription, why isn't anybody talking about it?!? Celebrity culture in this country is ridiculous, you'd think this would spark outrage in the streets. But alas, it doesn't, it hasn't and it won't. Doesn't mean the SHHRP crew won't talk about it. So give a listen, get upset, start a dialogue with someone. It has to start somewhere.

Relationships! The Most Sobering Topic.
SHHRP 057
Tonight,
We didn't know we'd be talking about our love lives, but that's what we spent a lot of the show discussing. It was an interesting look at sobriety, love, relationships and sex. They say, "don't get involved with anyone for at least a year after getting sober." I think that's good advise, Chaz thinks must longer, if ever.
Give a listen, tell us what you think!

Methadone & Suboxone, Myths & Facts
Download Episode 056
When you hear about an opioid addict deciding to quit using, it's easy to expect them to get off the drugs and quit cold turkey. The problem is, cold turkey leads to relapse with opioid addicts almost every time. They have the best intentions and find themselves back on the drugs, in one form or another, sometimes quickly, sometimes later, but almost always. With a long-term slow weaning treatment with a less dangerous, or receptor blocking medication, they can find long term if not permanent sobriety. Normies don't seem to understand the difference between a heroin user switching from heroin to pills and a heroin user switching from heroin to Suboxone, a drug that doesn't get you high, doesn't build tolerances and can literally prevent the user from using full blown opioids while they are taking it. Ignorant or arrogant 'recovery' people will also tell you that these drugs, Methadone and Suboxone are just as bad as the original addiction its self. I say bullshit! I have known many people who have gotten their lives back thanks to Suboxone. The only reason I would agree that Suboxone is "this generation's Methadone" is due to its popularity in use by addicts trying to kick a opioid addiction. But the two are not the same, they are incredibly different. We talk about this and more, this week, on The Sober Happy Hour!
