Benzodiazepines and treatment with Adam Bakker, Michael Liebrenz and Alexander Smith

In this episode Ben Scher talks to Dr Adam Bakker, Professor Michael Liebrenz and Dr Alexander Smith about their commentary in response to a previous paper by Domzaridou and colleages (2023). They discuss the complexities of providing treatment for people who use, and are prescribed, opiates, opiate agonist medications and benzodiazepines. They talk about using a combination of medical and non-medical treatments when working with people who use benzodiazepines as well as the research needed to bring clarity to this pressing clinical issue.


"This population is notoriously difficult to engage, but we should go the extra mile to retain them in treatment because of this high mortality."
