Dr. Drew | Treatments That Actually Save Alcoholics and Drug Addicts

Welcome back to The Pretty Intense Podcast. Our guest today is The one and only...Dr. Drew. Dr. Drew has spent 40 years treating patience as a physician. He is the author of "It Doesn’t Have To Be Awkward", a book he wrote with his daughter Paulina, as a guide to talking to your teenagers about sex. Dr. Drew has a hugely popular show on his own YouTube and Rumble channels called "Ask Dr. Drew" https://drdrew.com. Today we cover a lot of ground. We are talking about Dr. Drew's vast experience in working with addicts. Learn what he believes triggers them to always want more, and what treatments actually work for addiction recovery. Dr. Drew opens up to us about his upbringing, with an abusive mother. We talk about what makes him a "codependent" personality type, and what that exactly means. There are good and bad sides to this character trait. We talk about childhood trauma, and how some kids rise high as a result, and others freeze in fear. We also cover what Dr. Drew's hopes are for improvements to the medical system in the US with the change of administration. There is so much to learn from this episode. We hope you enjoy our talk with Dr. Drew.
