Our work was cited in The Seattle Times in a tremendous piece sharing the devastating impact of the fentanyl crisis on teens. Every week, a classroom of teens dies from drug overdose across the US. My thoughts on what's needed to address this crisis: seattletimes.com/seattle-news/m…

Well this is something that does not happen everyday! In a new WP we show access to full-day preK is great for kids, families and pays for itself. See shoutout from Catherine Rampell at WaPo 👌

I'd like to see the 2024 candidates talk more concretely about their plans for the overdose crisis, and not just about fentanyl at the southern border. My piece in @theHill thehill.com/opinion/health…

In a new @RollCall article by @JessieHellmann, ASAM member @DrMelissaWeimer underscores the critical need to treat patients with #OUD with appropriate, life-saving doses of #buprenorphine. rollcall.com/2024/10/24/med…

Methadone and buprenorphine are lifesaving treatment for OUD. Yet less than 50% of US psychiatric hospitals offer these treatments. When people are most vulnerable and seeking help in a crisis, they still are so often not able to access evidence based care where they need it.

For me this study highlights a critical point. We need to make these highly effective medications available everywhere in as low barrier a way as possible That must include where people are seeking care including for their mental health!!

Medication for OUD should be accessible in all psychiatric hospitals Yet over half don't have *any* of the three MOUDs 🚨This needs be on the radar of regulators🚨

Surprising research strongly suggests semaglutide can help address SUD. Why aren't we using it?Yale CHAMP Program alum Zoe Adams, MD spoke w/ Dr. Kenneth Morford (Yale Internal Medicine) & others on prospective benefits of semaglutide for opioid & alcohol use disorder. salon.com/2024/11/21/cou…

Thanks Adam Beckman MD for this 🧵 One of the concerns with pay for performance is that it can distribute payment according to population characteristics as opposed to quality of care for a given population Should we worry less about this in attempts to "pay for equity"? Well...
