Don’t Hide The Scars. Presented By PAIN: Parents & Addicts In Need

PAIN: Parents & Addicts in Need’s ⁠@painnonprofit ⁠ Founder Flindt Andersen and Jason LaChance sat down for a one on one conversation to discuss the recent autopsy report on Matthew Perry's unfortunate passing and in light of what the toxicology revealed we wanted to converse about the findings as well as clarify what Ketamine is.

A Massachusetts doctor Scott Hadland, who is an addiction specialist, is speaking out about Matthew Perry's autopsy report, explaining how ketamine played a key role in his death.

According to the autopsy report, obtained by The Blast, Matthew Perry died from "acute effects of the drug Ketamine." The autopsy report also stated that Perry was utilizing Ketamine therapy at the time of his death for anxiety and depression, however, his last known treatment overseen by a medical professional was over one week before he passed.

Dr. Hadland spoke on these results, claiming that because his last known treatment was over a week before he passed, Perry must have taken ketamine at home, separate from his ongoing ketamine therapy treatments. This indicates the chilling detail that Perry most likely relapsed, and was abusing the drug and taking it recreationally.

Flindt and Jason also discuss tools and tips for staying sober this holiday season especially for those new to sobriety. These tips include staying connected to the sober community, communicating the support needed from loved ones and not feeling the pressures of gift giving or being anything other than yourself.
