Oh-Oh-Oh Ozempic for Addiction Recovery? Naltrexone-Like Craving Suppressant is Sweeping the Recovery Community

Recovery in the Middle Ages - Two Middle-Aged Suburban Dads Talk About Recovering From Addiction to Drugs & Alcohol.

Semiglutides in Sobriety: A New Frontier in Addiction Recovery?

In this week’s episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages, we delve into the groundbreaking realm of semiglutide medications, such as Ozempic, and their emerging role in addiction treatment. As science advances, so does our understanding of how these drugs not only aid in weight loss, but also show promise in the realm of addiction recovery. We'll explore the current scientific insights on semiglutides' effects on the brain and body, specifically their potential to alter the brain's reward pathways and reduce the dopamine-driven pleasure associated with addictive behaviors.

We also discuss Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) more broadly, navigating the complexities and controversies surrounding MAT in the recovery community, touching on the balance between medication use and traditional recovery methods.
