We will evaluate, discuss and educate on all types of addiction topics. However, we will highlight the nuanced differences between the medical field (Dr. Heather- Addiction Physician) and those with the disease of addiction (Josh- Certified Peer Recovery Support Specialist). Episodes will not only bring you the specifics of addiction including the neurobiology of addiction and how that translates into the 'real world' but they will also bring you interviews from individuals in early or long-term recovery, therapists, family members, friends, clergy, treatment providers and so much more! We would love to hear from you, whether you have a question, suggestion, recommendation, request or even if you'd like to be a guest on the show!

73. Methamphetamine 101- Part 5- Psychosis and Long-Term Effects

July 24, 2024 • Heather Bell, Josh Solem • Episode 73

We will conclude our meth series with a fairly common, albeit not talked about enough, topic- Meth Psychosis. This psychosis encompasses many of the same symptoms as schizophrenia- hallucinations/delusions/paranoia/etc., and many of the risk factors do overlap. We will review these risk factors, as well as others, and discuss how patients present and can progress. Finally, we will talk about the long-term effects of meth use, including what meth withdrawal looks like. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you or a loved one suffers from meth use disorder and needs support!
