Friends/family/parents:
Did you send a loved one with #OpioidUseDisorder to classical rehab only to later learn, after their death, that they weren’t permitted to chose the Medical #StandardOfCare for #OUD (#buprenorphine)?
Going further, have you EVER seen a rehab APOLOGIZE??
What has the #SUD#Rehab Industrial Complex done to modify its care in response to new risks posed by the #fentanyl-contaminated #DrugSupply#OverdoseCrisis?
Hv they kept their obligation to protect patients and advance approaches to care in accordance w/ prevailing research?

756,764 voted for Trump. 816,107 voted for med. marijuana through Initiative 65 or 65a. And 6 justices overturn the clear voice of the people of MS. How can this happen?! @MichaelWatsonMS@DelbertHosemann@LynnFitchAG
I’m a conservative Christian woman & have 3 young sons. My husband & I will teach them that drugs can be dangerous, addictive and can potentially destroy one's life. Legal regulation isn't about endorsing drug use, it’s about treating a national health crisis for what it is.

This week is Random Acts of Kindness Week. If you have a friend, family member, or neighbor in recovery, we encourage you to reach out and offer an encouraging word. It takes a community of people to help us ensure more Mississippians are getting the encouragement they need.
MS prisons are in crisis. The state has a moral and constitutional obligation to protect those in its custody & provide a safe working environment for correctional officers. Right now, that’s not happening. Here are 5 solutions from @JRobertsonMS. https://t.co/qp2W2ndZw0
