Methadone moratorium is a hindrance of healthcare and medical treatment. How do you cap a number of clinics in the midst of drug epidemic. Addiction is a diagnosis. It should be treated as such. Recovery options should be individualized for each patient.

“I’m pissed off. I’m sad. But I’m also hopeful too.”

A new book on the #opioidcrisis by Beth Macy -- the author of Dopesick -- may surprise you. Macy acknowledges that pain patients were harmed by the backlash against #opioids. But in "Raising Lazarus," she still contends that painkillers caused the crisis. bit.ly/3AMPGUF

Cutting-edge care to address the overdose crisis shouldn’t be left to volunteers working from their cars. Innovation, on-demand treatment, and true leadership is sorely needed. An excerpt from my new book, #RaisingLazarus, out tomorrow. via @NYTOpinion nytimes.com/2022/08/15/opi…
