Show Notes

The Local Lens is a public health podcast going inside one community's experience with the drug epidemic. Everyone in the town of Stanton, KY sees this drug issue differently from each other, either because of their personal lives or professional roles. This show aims to showcase those different perspectives by having honest, in-depth interviews.

Medicine has a rocky history with addiction. Many of us are well aware of the harm done by pharmaceutical companies, as they reintroduced us to opiates. This has led to a hesitancy to trust medicine. This episode is aiming to lower that hesitancy.

Eastern Kentucky Recovery, along with many other providers, uses medicine as a tool to help people see clearly and break the continuous grip addiction has on the mind. We talk about what specific medicines are used for in this process.

The medical field is continuously progressing. There is a portion of people working in this field that are truly here to help. It is unfortunate, but in some cases, medicine is necessary in keeping addictions at bay.

These are our people, using our voices, telling our stories, because no one sees it like we do.
