In this episode, we take a closer look at GLP-1 medications like tirzepatide, Ozempic, and Mounjaro and their potential impact on alcoholism. These medications, widely known for treating diabetes and aiding in weight loss, are now being studied for their ability to reduce alcohol cravings and consumption. Could this be a game-changer in addiction treatment? Dr. Tamanini joins us to break down the science behind this exciting research and explain how these medications work in the body.

We also dive into some important questions raised in our Facebook community, The Sobriety Network. How do you navigate pricing out treatment for a loved one who needs help? And is it possible to get addicted to prescription drugs while trying to stay sober? These are critical issues many in recovery face, and we offer practical advice and insights to guide you.

If you’re curious about cutting-edge advancements in addiction science or looking for answers to common recovery challenges, this episode has something for you. Tune in to learn, grow, and stay inspired on your sobriety journey!
