The numbers are daunting but local matters and we should continue to efforts. Plan the work and work the plan. swoogo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/108122…
So as I close my career as the man in charge, I have to say things haven't always gone the way I wanted... ala Chad Vader, day shift Mgr
ASAM Pres, Kelly Clark reminds us detox isn't treatment as the risk of fatal OD is higher completing 28 day rehab sans MAT vs no Tx at all.
Whenever there are politicians who tell us their sad stories - I’m glad they’re sharing. But we need to ask them - what funding are you going to allocate to this problem? #NPFOpioids
There is overwhelming evidence in support of medication-assisted treatment. Ignoring facts is ending lives. Check out our resources page to learn more! bit.ly/2hNK9a2 #AccessMATters
Medication Assisted Tx is the gold standard of care for those who have an opioid addiction. Use and access should be aggressively enhanced.

As I am 2 days from retirement, thank you to all the Rx Abuse and Heroin prevention work group members. You rock it.
As with any epidemic it's gonna morph. Working the overdose crisis as we find it here locally is going to require an adaptive approach.
We'll be sharing best practices April 2-5 in Atlanta at the National Rx Drug Abuse & Heroin Summit, which... fb.me/2BpT1IvMR
Local efforts and strategies of Ventura County will be given spotlight at the National Rx Abuse and Heroin Summit in Atlanta next month!
Progress! Rhode Island has shown the rest of the nation that if you treat addiction like the brain disease it is, rather than an acute condition to be "cured" through detox, people have a fighting chance to rebuild their lives. bit.ly/2sBcAgW
