Alcohol harm reduction and managed alcohol programs
Through providing small doses of alcohol to clients regularly, managed alcohol programs reduce the risks associated with heavy drinking and non-beverage alcohol consumption without requiring abstinence. In this episode of the Addiction Practice Pod, Dr. Marcus Greatheart and David Ball talk with public health researcher and executive director of the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users, Brittany Graham, about the purpose of managed alcohol programs and how they fit into the continuum of care for alcohol use disorder. We also hear from harm reduction advocate and peer leader, George Sedore, about what led him to join a managed alcohol program and how this has impacted his life. We'd love to hear your feedback after the show. Find our evaluation, along with our show notes, here: bit.ly/APP-s3ep4 (bit.ly/APP-s3ep4)
