Substance Misuse: Stories of Recovery and Resources for Equine Veterinarians
Content warning: this podcast contains frank and open discussions of substance use disorder and paths to recovery.
AAEP Practice Life hosts Travis Boston and Jessica Dunbar introduce an episode focused on substance use disorder among veterinarians, an issue they highlight as sensitive and important for reducing stigma. They interview two veterinarians in recovery, Dr. Matt Moskosky and Dr. Philip Richmond, who share deeply personal, emotional stories detailing their experiences with addiction, the path to sobriety, the challenges faced within the veterinary profession, and the vital role of support systems and Physicians Health Programs (PHP/PRN) in their healing.
The conversation emphasizes that addiction is common among medical professionals, not a moral failure, and encourages listeners to seek help using resources like the VIN Foundation's Vets4Vets program.
