Praise For Thank You Adversity

For all the focus on reversing overdoses and expanding treatment options for addiction, there remains a gap and confusion on what to do about chronic pain. In Thank You Adversity for Yet Another Test, Dr. Stephen Grinstead has stepped ably into that void. While there are other voices calling for integrative approaches today, he brings distinct clarity, concrete tools, and empathy to the conversation. He has converted his lived experience into a systematic and integrative approach from which everyone can benefit. I am grateful for the blessing of Dr. Grinstead’s voice and his work. 

Mr. Harry Nelson, author of The United States of Opioids: A Prescription for Liberating a Nation in Pain.

Dr. Grinstead's Webcast On The Role Of Recovery-Friendly MAT

 In  this video I talk about The Role of Recovery-Friendly MAT for Chronic  Pain and Opioid Use Disorders. I cover how many people suffering with  chronic pain and coexisting disorders including addiction need  Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT). 


The bad news is that only about a  third of the people who need MAT will get it and of those many are not  getting what I'm calling “Recovery-Friendly MAT.” This webcast clearly  covers the need for MAT, some of the obstacles that prevent its  implementation and a strategic call to action for my viewers.
