Ep125: Curbing substance addiction with technology with Dr David McLaughlan, global addiction expert at the Priory and the CEO and Founder of Curb Health
Description
It's summer, the sun is shining and temptation is high. How many of us are consuming more than we want to, of alcohol or other substances? How many of us want to either reduce or stop, but can't?
How can technology play a role? That's where Dr David McLaughan comes in, with his digital app and community, Curb.
Many of us want to reduce our consumption of harmful substances, but can't. Some of us would benefit from completely stopping.
In addition to Curb, David is one of the UK's leading addiction psychiatrists, works at the Priory and has contributed to international treatment guidelines, academic journals as well as mainstream media outlets.
Additionally, he serves as Academic Secretary of The Royal College of Psychiatrists' Addiction Faculty.
