Dr. Jason Ackerman from Sheridan Memorial Hospital Addiction & Internal Medicine Clinic spoke with Floyd Whiting on Public Pulse about addiction and the support available to those struggling with it. Dr. Ackerman explained how addiction is more than just bad choices—it’s a medical condition that affects the brain. He also talked about the importance of breaking the stigma around addiction so people feel safe asking for help.
During the conversation, Dr. Ackerman shared how treatment can make a big difference. Using medicine to reduce cravings can help people focus on building better habits and relationships. He also talked about the role of family and support systems, especially during stressful times like the holidays, when many people face extra challenges.
