Treating substance use disorders in the criminal justice system

In this thought-provoking podcast episode, we invite guest Casey Grover, an emergency physician, to explore the ethical dilemmas surrounding the treatment of substance use disorders in the criminal justice system. Join us as we examine two compelling case studies that shed light on the harmful consequences of inadequate treatment. Casey shares insights into the violation of ethical principles and the urgent need for change. We discuss the life-saving potential of buprenorphine as a proven treatment for opioid use disorder and its impact on reducing overdose deaths. Discover the ethical responsibilities of health care providers and the transformative impact that proper treatment can have on incarcerated individuals. Join us as we advocate for a shift towards compassionate and equitable care for patients with substance use disorders in the criminal justice system. Casey Grover is an emergency physician. He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "Not treating addiction in criminal justice settings violates the 4 ethical principles in medicine."
