Craig Needles Podcast Episode 225: Treating opioid addiction

Opioid addiction, often impacting people who are homeless, is a massive issue in London and many other communities.

There's significant disagreement in the medical community on how best to treat it.

Dr. Joseph Mai and RPN Shelley West, who work at Central Community Health Centre in St. Thomas, join Craig on the podcast to discuss the way they treat the addiction - which they say has led to great success stories.

The conversation focuses on homelessness, the safety of prescribing opioids and the debate in the medical community surrounding safer supply.
