The Power of Talent Stewardship with Susan Salomone

Susan Salomone is the cofounder and Executive Director of Drug Crisis In Our Backyard, which was founded after the tragic loss of her son, Justin, to a heroin overdose. Susan was born and raised in New York State. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Education, Masters Degree in Counseling, and Masters Degree in Supervision at esteemed New York State universities. She has recently received her credential as a Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC). Susan was appointed to Governor Cuomo’s Heroin Task Force, is a member of the New York State Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Insurance and Provider Workgroup, and she has also received the Senate 2015 Award for Woman of Distinction. Susan is currently a family coach working individually and leading support groups for families struggling with the effects of addiction. Today Susan joins Brett to discuss her son, Justin’s past with addiction, and founding her organization after his tragic overdose in 2012. She talks about risk factors for addiction, increased awareness of the opioid crisis over the past decade, and how the pandemic has led to more overdose deaths. Susan breaks down her criticism of the McKinsey Opioid Settlement in New York State, and Brett asks whether advocates have perhaps gone too far and are preventing people who are really in pain from accessing the relief they need. Susan explains why she is against the legalization of recreational marijuana and dispensaries, but a proponent for the decriminalization of marijuana. And she tells Brett about embracing the support of family, friends, and other like-minded organizations to push through tragedy and help others who are suffering from addiction.Episode Highlights:Her son, Justin’s past with drug addiction and his heroin overdoseEarly lack of understanding around how addictive opioids wereHeroin education, treatment, and recoveryReasons people may be prone to addiction, including genetic factors, the age you start using drugs, and level of family supportHow she would have done things differently to help Justin, knowing what she knows now about addictionIncreased awareness of the opioid crisis and Susan’s brave decision to write about her family’s experienceHow COVID has led to more overdose deaths due to treatment center closures, increased isolation, and not being able to assess people’s condition in personSusan’s criticism of the McKinsey Opioid Settlement in New York StateBrett’s experience processing applications for Oxycontin as a data entry clerk at 18 years old, and mistakenly believing he was helping people in needSome people are truly in pain and need medicationDoctors need to be diligent in their education and understanding about addictionSusan’s stance against legalizing recreational marijuanaHowever, she believes marijuana should be decriminalizedDr. Kevin Sabet and his books, Reefer Sanity and Smokescreen - he is against legalization of recreational marijuana and believes the tobacco industry is behind this movementConcerns about opting out of local dispensaries fueling the black marketHaving emotional support from family and friends to push through tragedyEmbracing other organizations who raise drug addiction awarenessQuotes:“I would say that 90% of people on the planet didn't understand how addictive these drugs were, the opiods, Percocet, Vicodin. And they were being prescribed like candy. If you had a backache, you could get it. So many people were prescribed into addiction.”“He got addicted at 25 years old. He started using heroin because he could no longer support his habit.”“We found out that about 75% of the people that get clean, get clean without treatment. So without formal treatment, without going inpatient… Many people do get clean without going through that.” “It is a lifelong disease, but it really depends on the person. If they need to continue having therapy around it, and if they continue to need medication around it - some people need medication for life.”“The younger you start, the more chances you’re going to have of having an addiction problem because of the development of the brain.”“Families who have lost loved ones, I think felt ashamed and they hid it from the public.”“What was done, was the money that the state usually gives to Oasis for treatment prevention and recovery services was decreased by 21 million [dollars].”“I think that some people are in tremendous pain and they need the medication. So we need the discretion of the doctors to say, Well, this person needs the medication.”“Doctors need to be diligent in understanding addiction, which they aren’t… They don’t get many hours of education in addiction.”“I think that they were just giving out pills for any reason, just to get people out of the office. Give them these pills. This will take care of it. And that has a lot to do with the marketing that was being done by Purdue Pharma and the other culprits involved.”“I work with families that have children that are addicted to usually stronger drugs than marijuana. And a hundred percent of them either started with marijuana or alcohol.”“I'm afraid of people being stoned, going to work, getting in cars. I mean, that's going to happen. Not to mention the kids.”“I have a lot of friends around me that help. The work isn't done, but there are other groups coming up to help.”“So spreading the wealth, so to speak, is a way to take it off my shoulders, because it is a heavy load.”Links:Halston Media Group websiteDrug Crisis In Our Backyard website
