Dentistry Made Simple with Dr. Tarun ’TBone’ Agarwal
Health & Fitness:Medicine
In this week’s episode, Dr. Mona Gupta and Justin McLendon, both from Gupta Wellness in Raleigh, NC, discuss with me about Mental Dental: Helping People Move to The Next Step.
Dr. Gupta was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. After completing her studies and residency, Dr. Gupta sought to gain a variety of experience working in several different inpatient and outpatient facilities.
Justin McLendon, LPC, LCAS, received a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University in Royal Palm Beach Florida.
Both, Dr. Gupta and Justin believe in the utilization of evidence-based treatment, the engagement of family systems in the recovery/treatment process, utilization of community supports, developing deep meaningful relationships with others, and facilitating positive change within the whole person (mind, body, and spirit) not just controlling the substance use.
Dr. Gupta explains that effective treatment is one that uses a multifaceted approach to meet the patient where they are and support them in facilitating positive change in all areas of their life. Justin describes what is substance abuse and how IOP works. They also share signs and symptoms of substance abuse and how to seek professional help. Justin helps us understand how to determine who is a candidate for IOP and who isn’t and how we can help people to move the next step.
This week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:
● Signs and symptoms of substance abuse
● What can we do to help people with primary substance use disorder?
● The consequences of not seeking professional help.
● What are the triggers for substance use disorder?
● How to find candidates for IOP?
