Working in addiction treatment means witnessing the full weight of this disease — and when adolescents are involved, the complexity only deepens. The Gateway Hospital Bridge Podcast is built for the clinicians, nurses, peer specialists, and addiction professionals on the front lines of this work.
This episode explores the clinical and behavioral roots of adolescent addiction, unpacking the family dynamics, trauma histories, and environmental factors that shape a young person's path to substance use. We bring together knowledge from medical professionals, researchers, and lived-experience voices to give you a well-rounded perspective you can carry directly into your practice.
From evidence-based intervention strategies to the emotional realities of treating adolescent populations, we go beyond the textbook to have the conversations that actually matter in the field. Whether you're a seasoned clinician or new to adolescent care, this podcast is your bridge — connecting research to real-world application, and clinical knowledge to whole-family healing.
