One new aspect of addiction treatment that has become popular in recent years is the use of medically assisted treatment (also known as MAT). It is used to treat many substance use disorders as well as to prevent overdose. Due to the recent opioid epidemic, MAT is being used as an alternative to abstinence based recovery. MAT is primarily used for the treatment of addiction to opioids such as heroin and prescription pain relievers that contain opiates. In this episode, we’ll explore the effectiveness of Suboxone and other medically assisted treatment when treating substance use disorder.

Guests:
Dr. Muhammad Farhan Ijaz MD, Internal Medicine specialist
Dr. Nicholas Colangelo, CEO of Brookdale Premier Addiction Recovery

For many people who finally decide to seek addiction treatment, their physical and mental well-being comes first. But what happens when you feel like something deeper is missing? In this candid and revealing conversation, BlueCrest CEO Richie Hession and BlueCrest VPs of Business Development Mark Bonanni and Stas Botsaris discuss their own spiritual journeys during recovery and how trying to get sober without including spirituality is like "switching seats on the spiritual Titanic."

Richard Hession, CEO of New Jersey-based BlueCrest Recovery Center, joins Stas Botsaris and Mark Bonanni, Co-Directors of Business Development at BlueCrest, for a candid, far-ranging discussion about ethical best practices in the addiction treatment industry. Each in active recovery themselves, Richard, Stas, and Mark explore the most exemplary and most cringeworthy behavior they have seen in the industry, as well as the ways that BlueCrest prioritizes responsible, client-centered relationships. Join us for a no-holds-barred conversation about professional ethics in an industry that sets out to change peoples' lives for the better.

Fan favorites Stas Botsaris and Mark Bonanni, BlueCrest Regional VPs of Business Development, are back to tackle one of the most common questions facing people in early recovery: what is dating like when you're newly sober?

Stas and Mark share their own personal experiences learning to navigate the complicated world of friendships, relationships, and responsibility in recovery, as well as strategies that have worked—and failed—for them. Learn more about early recovery relationships in this wide-ranging conversation that, as always, is open and honest.

Living a life of recovery and sobriety can raise a lot of questions for people just starting out. How do you tell family members that you're not "healed" from addiction? How do you manage a partner or loved one who drinks or uses drugs? How do you deal with triggers and the risk of relapse?

BlueCrest CEO Richie Hession joins Stas Botsaris and Mark Bonanni, BlueCrest Regional VPs of Business Development, to tackle a grab bag of audience questions. Ranging from questions about dating in recovery to dealing with overdoses, the team tackles these dilemmas head on in a candid and judgement-free conversation.
