Tackling alcoholism with Jonathan Hunt-Glassman

In this episode, we delve into the surge in alcohol consumption
during the pandemic, the rise of digital health innovations in
addiction treatment, and the crucial role of medication in
supporting recovery. Alcohol misuse costs the NHS in England
approximately £3.5 billion annually, covering hospital
admissions, treatments, and A&E visits related to
alcohol-related issues.


With over 1.1 million hospital admissions yearly linked to
alcohol consumption, emergency services face a significant
strain. Alcohol-related liver disease stands as a major cause of
mortality, with substantial NHS spending on treatment. The burden
extends to mental health services treating co-occurring
conditions, while indirect costs like productivity losses are
estimated at £7 billion annually. Public health campaigns and
social care services further compound the financial load on the
NHS and society.


Join us as we welcome Jonathan Hunt-Glassman, a leading advocate
for innovative approaches to treating alcohol use disorder. As
the Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder of Oar Health,
Jonathan champions medication-assisted treatment and the concept
of moderation as a legitimate recovery goal. Through his personal
journey and professional insights, Jonathan offers a fresh
perspective on managing alcohol misuse and exploring paths beyond
traditional sobriety. His expertise and experience promise
valuable information and inspiration for anyone invested in
understanding and addressing alcohol use disorder. You can find
