The Addiction Podcast-Point of No Return

This podcast addresses hope and recovery options for individuals, friends, family, parents and associates who have been or may be addicted to opioids, heroin, cocaine, prescription drugs, fentanyl, alcohol, or marijuana and want to overcome the addiction.

There are interviews with former addicts, stories of having gone through numerous failed rehabes, parents and loved ones that describe the horrors and ultimate methods they have sought to save lives and help.

Issues include the changing world of rehab, from 12 step programs to successful and effective alternative approaches to detox, withdrawal, and education for stable life style changes for former addicts. The benefits and dangers of different types of rehab from those that have experienced it.

The “point of no return’ is when the individual has come to a realization that they need and want help.

This is also for friends and family of addicts who are at their wits end and don’t know what to do to help the addict. This podcast gives hope and inspiration for recovery.

Some topics include:
– Where can I get help?
– How do I know if my child or relative or friend is addicted?
– How do I get someone up to realizing they need help?

Kratom - Part 2 - And What About Suboxone Feb 21, 2018

Show notes

Obviously we struck a nerve with our outright condemnation of Kratom in our last episode. We want to let you know that we don't think Kratom is right or wrong. The main point is that it isn't fully researched and until that time, those people taking it are to some degree guinea pigs for the manufacturers of Kratom. Some people swear by the effectiveness and some people have died from taking it. The jury is out on Kratom. However, if someone has to have Kratom to function, that's addiction and we would like to propose that people live drug free lives - completely drug free, if possible. We share that goal with many listeners. We also touch on the nasty withdrawal that accompanies Suboxone.

Kratom - the new Wonder Drug - but still a drug Feb 12, 2018

Show notes

People are touting the new drug Kratom as the solution to Suboxone addiction, but did you know that Suboxone was touted as the solution to Methadone; Methadone to Heroin and Heroin to Morphine? Kratom is a drug. In fact the FDA has just labeled it as an opioid. Substituting one drug for another usually doesn't work. Not if you want to live a happy and sober life. Listen, learn and make your own decision.

Heroin, Benzos and Meth - Oh My! Feb 07, 2018

Show notes

There's really nothing new in the field of substance abuse and nothing that Narconon hasn't seen. Having said that some addicts are now cooking up meth in their own homes as an alternative to heroin but the highs and lows of meth are different. Bottom line, even though Jason has seen everything in terms of addiction, he knows how to handle whatever comes up.

Who is the Real Victim in Addiction? Jan 15, 2018

Show notes

When people think of drug or alcohol addiction, often the addict is thought of as the victim. However, the real victim, we feel, are those close to the addict because they live with the fear that the addict will overdose, or get arrested, or wind up in the hospital. The addict started with a choice, the friends and family didn't choose to have an addict amongst their loved ones.

Pinellas County Sheriff Robert Gualtieri Speaks - "A Finger in the Dike." Jan 09, 2018

Show notes

This podcast is an interview with Pinellas County Sheriff Robert Gualtieri. Sheriff Gualtieri has been dealing with drugs for decades in this area and so has a law enforcement perspective on the problem. However, expecting law enforcement to be the solution to substance abuse is like putting the proverbial finger in the dike. It's way too late on the chain. What is needed is prevention, education and treatment.

He also ended up on various psychiatric medications which caused him more troubles than the street drugs. Zach has done the Narconon program and is going to dedicate his life to helping others.

The holidays can be a very stressful time for addicts and their loved ones.

An Interview with Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi Dec 18, 2017

Show notes

When Pam Bondi was elected as Florida's attorney general in 2010, Florida was #1 in the country for pill mills - places where you could literally walk in with cash and walk out with pain pills. Dealers came from all over the country to buy the pain meds and take them back to their state. After Pam was elected, she shut down some 98 pill mills in the state. Fighting addiction from her position is a priority for her.
