AM 870 The Answer: Special Pre-Presidential Debate Segment with Clare Waismann
In a special pre-presidential debate segment of The Morning Answer on AM 870, Clare Waismann, founder of the Waismann Method®, joined Jennifer Horn to discuss the critical impact of fentanyl on society, particularly its effects on teens and young adults. Clare highlighted the devastating loss of life from fentanyl poisoning and challenged the notion that we are simply facing an addiction crisis. Instead, she pointed out that many individuals are victims of poisoning, not addiction. Clare also explained how the Waismann Method’s medically assisted detoxification process offers a path to recovery, allowing patients to break free from opioid dependence and start addressing their mental health with clarity and presence.
Jennifer Horn, AM 870 The Answer: Welcome back. It is special debate night coverage right here on the answer. Kamala Harris squaring off against President Trump. And our special guest right now is familiar to all of you here on Am 870. Clare Waismann, founder of the Waismann Method Opioid Detox, is right here in Los Angeles. She helps out so many people. And Clare, we thank you so much for your support of our presidential debate and of the station.
Clare Waismann, M-RAS/SUDCC II: My pleasure always.
Jennifer Horn, AM 870 The Answer: Now we have been hearing and what they’ve been talking, what they will talk about tonight on the debate is the open border. And with that open border comes the flow of fentanyl coming into the United States. How is this affecting teens and families across the country?
Clare Waismann, M-RAS/SUDCC II: I think it is affecting more than teens and families, it is affecting society as a whole. Yeah, and not just our society right now, but generations to come. Um, you’re really talking about over 300 people dying daily that is a jumbo plane falling every day, mostly, um, young adults, male. Um, and again, it’s affecting every one of us. Yeah. Um, it’s beyond travesty is devastating, and I think the worst part of it all is preventable.
Jennifer Horn, AM 870 The Answer: Right. And I think there’s so I mean, it is so scary because people will either choose fentanyl or things that they are addicted to will be containing fentanyl. I mean, there’s just it’s so scary to be a parent when you think about your children. Just scary in general. And addiction is a is a real illness. It’s a real problem. How are treatment approaches evolving to better address the challenges that substances like fentanyl pose to individuals seeking recovery?
Clare Waismann, M-RAS/SUDCC II: Um, I think, uh, we’re, you know, we’re continuously adapting our protocols to deal with the challenges head-on. But, uh, this is a new drug. Um, this drug is being laced with tranq and other, um, substance that we have never seen in the streets. One thing, um, Jennifer, that I would like to go back to is that we are not dealing with addiction here. Um, because I think when you say we’re dealing with addiction, we’re putting the guilt on the individual using the drug itself. We are dealing with a tremendous amount of poisoning.
Jennifer Horn, AM 870 The Answer: Very good point.
Clare Waismann, M-RAS/SUDCC II: A lot of these kids that are going to school, they’re in universities with the social media. They buy, you know, a pill of Xanax, a pill of something else, and they die of fentanyl overdose.
Jennifer Horn, AM 870 The Answer: It’s a great point. It is a poisoning and it’s scary. In our final 30 seconds here with you, Clare. And we could talk. You’re welcome back. Talk to us about the Waismann Method and what you do, and how this kind of is a method that’s a more effective path to recovery.
Clare Waismann, M-RAS/SUDCC II: Yeah, because this is the beginning. You know, um, treatments nowadays, they substitute one drug or the other, or it’s about long-term treatment. What we offer is a medical detox in the hospital. We treat dependence. Once the dependence is treated, the patient is emotionally present to deal with whatever mental health issues they have.
