    ClearlyWell Short Sesh 1

    In this short session of the ClearlyWell Podcast, I take the time to answer email questions, clarify any mistakes from previous episodes, and share important information that's not widely known about substance use disorder and mental health. Today's session focuses on emerging gas station drugs such as Kratom and Tianeptine, which are becoming increasingly available but pose serious health risks. This is a valuable opportunity to provide insights into these substances and their potential dangers, as well as how they affect those struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Lastly, credit is given to the Stevens Amendment, as funds from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) have supported this podcast episode. The Stevens Amendment requires acknowledgment of federal funding contributions in programs and projects that are financed by federal agencies like HRSA, ensuring transparency in the use of public funds.

    In episode two, Ashley continues to recount Erica's journey, culminating in her admission to the ICU with endocarditis from IV drug use, and her tragic passing in 2022. Tragically, there were stigmatizing conversations among the nurses in the first ICU where Erica was treated before her passing.
