In this episode, we delve into the surge in alcohol consumption during the pandemic, the rise of digital health innovations in addiction treatment, and the crucial role of medication in supporting recovery. Alcohol misuse costs the NHS in England approximately £3.5 billion annually, covering hospital admissions, treatments, and A&E visits related to alcohol-related issues.
With over 1.1 million hospital admissions yearly linked to alcohol consumption, emergency services face a significant strain. Alcohol-related liver disease stands as a major cause of mortality, with substantial NHS spending on treatment. The burden extends to mental health services treating co-occurring conditions, while indirect costs like productivity losses are estimated at £7 billion annually. Public health campaigns and social care services further compound the financial load on the NHS and society.
Join us as we welcome Jonathan Hunt-Glassman, a leading advocate for innovative approaches to treating alcohol use disorder. As the Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder of Oar Health, Jonathan champions medication-assisted treatment and the concept of moderation as a legitimate recovery goal. Through his personal journey and professional insights, Jonathan offers a fresh perspective on managing alcohol misuse and exploring paths beyond traditional sobriety. His expertise and experience promise valuable information and inspiration for anyone invested in understanding and addressing alcohol use disorder.
