@JoniSweet @Verywell Thanks for writing this article on the important study!

In rural areas, treatment for opioid use disorder can be hard to get. Fortunately, researchers have found a creative way to bring help where it's most needed: a modified RV (yes, the same kind for road trips). My story for @Verywell has the scoop. verywellmind.com/mobile-clinic-…

@brittanys Thank you @brittanys such an important article!

@susandominus Thank you for the kind words @susandominus - grateful for the insight, nuance and balance you bring to the world through words.

There is no one more thoughtful on the subject of addiction and how we should think about it than @FredMuench, of the Partnership to End Addiction: @fredmuench/stigma-doesnt-care-if-addiction-is-a-disease-8ced8a6dcdfe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@fredmuench/st…

We have a new free alcohol reduction text messaging program in beta (Text REDUCE to 55753) to help people reduce or stop their alcohol consumption due to COVID-19 triggers. Along with the increase in alcohol sales., we have found significant increases in…lnkd.in/dcJ3kFQ

@madras_bertha Thank you for doing this research. It will make an important difference in how we intervene and improve youth outcomes.

Just released! Our paper (SAMHSA, NIDA, CDC, McLean Hospital) showing parents’ past year marijuana use consistently associated with increased (unad) risk of offspring (12-30 y) use of marijuana tobacco alcohol and opioids. JAMA Network Open. Even lifetime parent use raises risk!

So grateful to be a part of this organization and to honor Terry and her amazing work! @tdemio

Nice paper from @amitba showing that RCTs may be proof of principle, but they are not necessarily generalizable. Nice analysis and thoughtful suggestions for research.academic.oup.com/tbm/advance-ar…

Rethinking engagement in digital health requires an analysis of why people are not engaging. Paper helps reveal we are too focused on general content and not enough on how people change and what they need as they embark on their journey.

@jvanderlan Thanks @jvanderlan a journey indeed! Grateful

I am so lucky and honored to be working for this organization. twitter.com/thepartnership…

Great meeting with FDA, DEA, DOJ, and Tech companies to partner to reduce supply of opioids but also focus on demand reduction and support for families. fda.gov/Drugs/NewsEven…

Tomorrow, tune in live for an exciting announcement from The Grayken Center for Addiction at @The_BMC and the Partnership. @MBotticelliBMC, @FredMuench & @Paul_Kusiak will share new resources and insights for families struggling with substance use #FamiliesCanHeal #MA

Right on point! Criminalizing addiction is unequivocally BAD POLICY. It may also be BAD LAW, but its constitutionality hasn't been seriously challenged since Powell v TX (1968). Until now.

Sigh. Now we need action. We need funds and resources that go to treatment and ongoing peer and family support. It is time to act after years of inaction. nytimes.com/2018/05/29/hea…
