Suboxone and Other Medically Assisted Treatment

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 Mark Bonanni, Senior Director of Business Development at Princeton Detox Website: https://www.bluecrestrc.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi2I85j-jx-K6xqHRttlreg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BlueCrestRecovery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bluecrestrecoverycenter/?hl=en

Questions from Clients

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?

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.

Firsts in Recovery, Part 1

BlueCrest CEO Richie Hession joins Mark "the Shark" Bonanni, Regional VP of Business Development at BlueCrest, for a lighter topic this episode: exploring major milestones in recovery. What does it feel like to date in recovery? What about getting your first job in recovery? Or spending time with friends and family who still drink and use drugs? For many people in recovery, finding work, managing relationships, and juggling responsibilities to families and friends can be a major challenge when they are still learning to maintain their sobriety. Richie and Mark share their personal stories—from great advice that Mark received from his sponsor to Richie's journey on Wall Street—as examples of what to do (and what not to do) in early recovery.

"Suboxone" on The Other Side with Richie H.

BlueCrest CEO Richie Hession joins Mark Bonanni, Regional VP of Business Development at BlueCrest, and John Kakowski, a former licensed pharmacist and sober living advocate, to discuss the role of medication-assisted treatment in addiction recovery. While many programs rely on drugs like Suboxone as the "gold standard" for opiate recovery, Richie, Mark, and John explore other alternatives and explain why Suboxone isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. It's easy to see medication-assisted treatment as a cure for addiction, but the team explains that no medication is truly effective at managing addictive behaviors without psychosocial support like 12-step programs, therapy, and counseling. Mental health, in particular, plays a vital role in managing addiction, and John shares his insights into supporting medication-assisted treatment with mental health counseling.

Intervention on The Other Side with Richie H.

It's a word that's entered our vocabulary thanks to TV programs and pop culture, but how much do you really know about interventions? BlueCrest CEO Richie Hession joins interventionist John Troche to talk about the truth behind successful—and not so successful—interventions in real life. John discusses the aspects of interventions that many people don't understand, such as carefully selecting participants and doing deep background research before setting up a meeting. He also highlights some of the unexpected complications that make interventions challenging, including tracking down a homeless loved one and persuading a client that they won't lose their dog if they enter treatment.

What Happened to Emma Semler? - The Other Side with Richie H.

The case of Emma Semler shocked the nation: how did two young women leave a third woman to overdose and die in a restaurant bathroom? And why did one of those women, Emma Semler, get charged as a drug dealer when she didn't sell drugs? BlueCrest CEO Richie Hession joins Stas Botsaris, Regional VP of Business Development at BlueCrest, to discuss his personal connection to the case. Stas, who was in a relationship with Emma, speaks about her deep remorse over her actions, her commitment to recovery and sobriety—including sponsorship of many others—and the way that addiction can short-circuit our sense of right and wrong. And Richie and Stas discuss how the aftereffects of Emma's trial could stop more people from seeking medical help for someone overdosing.
