The Opioid Matrix: A Journey Into the Rabbit Hole

How OxyContin Paved the Path to Fentanyl; A Doctor's Perspective


Listen Later

When OxyContin was approved in the ‘90s, how many could predict the skyrocketing opioid deaths or the rise of fentanyl in the road ahead? As we scramble to treat the symptoms of a fentanyl-dominated opioid market, what lessons can we learn from the past to prevent the next stage in the opioid epidemic’s evolution?
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Arun Gupta MD PC, Addiction Specialist, Family Physician and Author of The Preventable Epidemic, about the events that led the opioid epidemic to spiral out of control and what we can do to stop it before it gets worse.

Join us as we discuss:
  • How OxyContin paved the path to fentanyl
  • Better ways to taper-off of opioids
  • The role of medical training in the past and future of opioid addiction
