Apr 11, 2023

We can treat some of areas of addiction through harm reduction, but we will never be able to fully solve it, until we understand the "why" behind it.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Michael Miller, CEO of the Miller Care Group, about how his clinical approach to addiction differs from others by drilling down into the root causes and treating addiction as the source.

Key topics:

  • The science behind drug addiction
  • How cartels benefit from drug decriminalization
  • The evolution of opioid addiction starting with pain management
