Medication-Assisted Recovery From Opiate Addiction

Informações:

Synopsis

The Oregon State Senate unanimously passed a bill that would make drugs like methadone and naloxone more accessible to people struggling with opioid addiction or to reverse the effects of an overdose. We hear more about medication as a tool for people in recovery from Sean Syrek, a department director at EVOLVE who is in long-term recovery from opiate addiction, and Eric Martin, director of policy and compliance for the Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon.
