Addictions: Dr. Omar Talks Substance Abuse, Importance Of Role Models, & The Nature Of Intoxicants
In this week's episode, I discuss with Dr. Omar Husain holding a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He is also a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, thus making him very familiar with mental health, substance abuse, and the nature of addiction. He is also a graduate of Al Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, where he attained a degree in Islamic studies and Arabic. His knowledge of the Islamic and social sciences makes him uniquely equipped to address contemporary issues such as the topic of addiction facing the Muslim community.
In this episode, we seek to break the silence and shed light on this unfortunate but very real problem within our communities. We dive into intriguing questions such as what differentiates an unhealthy behavior from an addiction? How do people become addicted to something? How can parents prevent their children from substance abuse through modeling and open communication? How should families respond to a relative with an addiction? How we as an Ummah should approach this crisis to support our brothers and sisters struggling with the issue of addiction? & Much more.
