Speaker: Jen Stovall, BSN, RN Long-term use of depressant and stimulant drugs can wreak havoc on the body. This presentation outlines patterns of imbalance associated with specific drugs and preventative strategies for support. Because many drugs impact the body systems in predictable ways resulting in similar symptom patterns, we look at both herbal and nutritional protocols that address the long-term impact of drug use. Material presented is informed by the reality that not everyone is able, willing, or ready to quit using drugs and the belief that they still deserve support. We’ll also consider commonly held myths about drug users and best practices that lead to empowerment rather than stigmatization.
