“I remember the onset of the Opioid crisis; nobody saw it coming”

Rob Tanguay, MD FRCPC is a doctor in addictions medicine and the founder of the Newly Institute in Calgary Alberta.

“The Newly Institute offers rapid access to intensive outpatient programs providing innovative mental health, addiction, and trauma therapies. Access to treatment will lead to reduced suffering, increased resiliency, and save the lives of those who suffer the most.”

Tune in this week and listen to Dr. Tanguay #takeofftheblinders around the science of addictions medicine in the most opinionated way.

We will talk frankly about everything from abstinence-based strategies, to harm reduction strategies, to the effectiveness of psychedelics in the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and a lot more.

Oh yes, we are going to the fringe this week my friends. You won't want to miss this one because we’re going to get real about addiction right here, on Hard Knox Talks.

Buckle up!
