  • Soothing the Hungry Ghost: Supporting our Clients When They are Ready to Quit Using Opioids

Speaker: Jen Stovall, BSN, RN Due to widespread opioid use in our culture, herbalists are sure to encounter clients seeking our support to help them quit using. Unfortunately, our cultural narrative around drug use does not allow for a tolerance of, much less identification with, addiction and so herbalists who want to help find there is a lack of practical information about how to provide support. In this class, Jen shares protocols she’s used in her practice to support clients who want to quit using opioids. Using principles of harm reduction as a framework to provide support, we examine conventional concepts of addiction from various angles as we explore alternative ways to support those experiencing addiction.
