Rethinking Harm Reduction in Hospitals (New Aced It Episode)
Why are patients with substance use disorders leaving hospitals against their doctor’s advice? In this episode, we discuss qualitative research that uncovers challenges faced by people with substance use disorders when they enter the hospital setting seeking care. We will also explore eye-opening studies that not only highlight these issues but offer innovative solutions to improve hospital-based substance use treatment.
