The Rehab show is about overcoming drug addiction. The topics range from medical treatment to spiritual fellowships and psychotherapy. Other forms of therapy will be explored as well. The underlying theme is that everyone is different and we cannot apply a single method of treatment to all people and expect it to work. Listening carefully to what works and does not work for an individual, treating people with respect and understanding that behaviors caused by addiction are the result of a medical condition are important. Patients presenting for treatment of addiction should be addressed with caring, compassion and understanding.

On this episode, we're exploring the world of medication withdrawal, benzodiazepine protracted withdrawal, and the difficulties associated with it. Our guest, Nicole Lamberson, shares her personal journey of surviving protracted withdrawal, involving long-term withdrawal symptoms, complicated by a lack of understanding of doctors, friends, and family. Her goal is to increase awareness of protracted withdrawal, the dangers of psych drugs, such as benzodiazepines, and the importance of informed consent between doctors and their patients. We also discuss various symptoms of protracted withdrawal, including histamine intolerance and how it might relate to some people experiencing "benzo belly." Additionally, we delve into the lack of information on how to taper off benzodiazepines and the lack of training for doctors in this area. Finally, we explore the influence of pharmaceutical companies on medical education and the importance of doctors being fully informed before prescribing medication. Join us as we discuss all these topics and more on this illuminating episode.
