Are weight loss medications changing addiction treatment? GLP-1 drugs and other medications are sparking a new conversation about their role in recovery.

In this episode, Steven T. Ginsburg breaks down one of sobriety’s most debated topics: when medication supports—not hinders—the path to recovery. He explains the key difference between mind-altering substances and medications like GLP-1 products, Vivitrol, Suboxone, and Naltrexone, which target cravings without creating new dependencies.

The discussion highlights a balanced perspective. For those facing severe, life-threatening addiction—especially chronic opioid users or relapsing alcoholics—medication-assisted programs can provide a critical bridge when paired with spiritual growth and 12-step work. As Ginsburg notes, true healing requires addressing both the biochemical and spiritual sides of addiction.

The takeaway: medication alone isn’t enough, but combined with sponsorship, service, and spiritual connection, it can be life-saving. And when worries about cost or career come up, Ginsburg reminds listeners: none of that matters if addiction takes a life.
