  • Summary

  • Mortality deaths in adolescents due to unintentional overdoses reached an all-time high in 2020. The majority of deaths (81%) were due to fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. About 41% of those who overdosed had a prior history of mental health.Yet, more often than not, we treat substance use and mental illness separately.

Our guest is one of those leading this charge as he explores alternative treatment interventions like psychedelic associated therapy.

    Interview with Nathan Sackett, MD, co-director of the Center for Novel Therapeutics in Addiction Psychiatry at the University of Washington.
