  • Summary

  • In this Bell Work Talk, Kory will talk about addiction and how it is a very stigmatized disease. Before we can start to treat patients with addictions, we must first learn how it works and why our patients act the way they do. In this podcast, I will define addiction, the neurobiology of addiction, discuss a new concept of brain failure and also discuss cravings that addiction causes. Kory Scheideman is an Emergency Department nurse that has been in the emergency world for over 18 years as a nurse, and prior to that an EMT/Fire Fighter for 5 years. For the last 6 years, Kory has helped develop an ALTO program, Medication Assisted Treatment program in 6 different Emergency Departments. He also is an active community member and sits on the Northern Colorado Harm Reduction Alliance, Northern Colorado Collaborative for Addiction and Recovery Supports, and the Colorado Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) Quality, Safety and Injury Prevention Committee Chair. He was recently awarded a “Rethinking Addiction and Recovery Event” Award and the Colorado ENA Inspire award in 2023 for his work in the community and the Colorado ENA. Kory was also inducted in the Academy of Emergency Nurses earlier this month for the work with addiction medicine among Emergency Nurses Association and community.
