Drug Dependence and the stigmata

Jan 12, 2015 | Posted by cmbmd79@gmail.com | #Addiction, addicted to heroin, help with drugs, opioid addiction, percocet, suboxone, suboxone treatment, vicodin |

Do you know how frustrating it is to chase after something you will never catch and hold on too? You continue to spend money during this rampage for something that will only last so shortly. The results are far more devastating to the  individuals and his or her family than you could ever imagine. A roller coaster ride filled with highs and lows,  maltreatment of loved ones and self. Relationships are no more as trust has wasted. You soon run out of money to find  yourslef selling your personal items or even self for this one high. You find yourself in legal trouble, you lose your  license. You think life is over don’t you? What is your idea of what this individual looks like? or what job they have or don’t have? What type of person is this?

This individual can be you, me, a banker, executive, doctor, nurse, lawyer, homeless person, bottom line is it can be anyone from anywhere no matter who or where they come from. Addiction doesn’t know class, race or religion.

People addicted to pain pills DO NOT want to live this way, would you? You have 3-4 kids, a family, great job and you find yourself developing tolerance for pain pills prescribed for your bad back pain. Of course you weren’t told by your doctor that these medications are so addictive that it could ruin your life and your families life! The doctor just kept prescribing you the pills because when patients go to doctors we expect something in return for our visit and often times payment of a “copay”.

What people don’t realize is that there is a huge stigma on patients suffering opioid addiction and they don’t want to seek help because they fear what people will say and or do. Patients with addiction are often treated differently by the doctors they see in an emergency, nurses, and pharmacists. TO many, they are seen as drug addicts. To me I see them as a person whos mind and body was suseptible to a chemical which is additive and tried to ruin their life.

About cmbmd79@gmail.com

Originally from Long Island, NY, Dr. Brennan had a wonderful upbringing on Long Island and Fire Island in the summers, Grateful for parents sacrifices. I was grateful to have 3 wonderful brothers and a sister all who are inspiring and supportive. I always asked questions and wanted to know more. I was a very curious person and always wanted to learn more. I took a more untraditional path towards Medicine which began at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York where I was a Management Information Systems Major and graduated with a B.S. During my 4 years at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute I traveled and studied abroad in Australia and Indonesia. I was also a member of the Varsity Men’s Lacrosse Team for all 4 years. I felt I really wasn’t doing the work I wanted to do every day. Moreover, I was passionate about health, wellbeing and fitness. I enjoyed working with and helping people and I knew Medicine was where my heart was. So, I went to Medical School and now practice Internal Medicine and Addiction Medicine. I have taken advantage of my education and further exploited that knowledge to learn more about health information technology, software development and web development. I enjoy inspiring others to take on challenges and reap the rewards of success. I now spend a good portion of my time outside of the hospital brainstorming ideas and developing software and designing websites. I am passionate about life and all the opportunities it has to offer. Never take anything for granted and be grateful you have another day to further your knowledge and make a contributing impact on society.
