New research has emerged showing that simple word choices can have a big impact on the way health professionals view their patients and, accordingly, the care they receive. https://t.co/5tS9CJGtdz
As the number of opioid overdose deaths continues to surge across the United States, some experts stress the urgency of providing the addiction treatment medication buprenorphine to drug users as soon as possible, on the scene of an overdose. https://t.co/G58xzuusmq
At least 80 percent of the overdoses in 2020 were fentanyl-related, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a number that continues to rise. https://t.co/ANnrJauGYk
Hey @DrOz: you follow me & in the past lifted up my opinions & work to end addiction/overdose. Here’s my take: you’re an asshole. You’re revolting. You play politics with our lives. You could care less about the ppl Kensington. Go back to peddling diets on TV. I liked you better.
If your illness is an addiction or a condition related to drug or alcohol use, there are few hospitals where patients can see a clinician — whether that be an M.D., nurse, therapist or social worker — who specializes in addiction medicine. https://t.co/EhgWJpqWkf
The day began with the @SecondGentleman & @DrGupta46 meeting with recovery advocates on the Mobilize Recovery bus, which was parked outside the White House. They, along with White House staff, wrote messages of encouragement on the bus for ppl in recovery. https://t.co/aSpdTBfboQ
This National Recovery Month, the Biden-Harris Administration recommits to helping prevent substance use disorder, supporting those who are still struggling, and providing people in recovery with the resources they need to live full and healthy lives.
Today, in honor of National Recovery Month, @SecondGentleman attended the White House Recovery Summit.
The Biden-Harris Administration is working to ensure that achieving and sustaining recovery is within reach for every American.
As I was signing the @MobilizeRecover bus, I saw other messages of compassion next to mine. I also saw dates and names that represent the lives of those lost to overdoses. To those who are on their recovery journeys, we will be by your side every step of the way.
Dozens of advocates, most of whom are in recovery from substance use, are making themselves heard in a bus tour crossing the nation. #mobilizerecovery https://t.co/u4mY5ZHt5W
#MobilizeRecovery visited Virginia's recovery community organization---the McShin Foundation---on September 16th. Peer supports, BBQ, registering voters, the Shamebooth, great storytelling, naloxone & fentanyl test strips, and coming together to celebrate #RecoveryMonth.
We're here today to prevent more families from losing their loved ones. We’re here to call on Congress to pass meaningful, bipartisan policies to save lives in our communities. We’re here because we’re not in the business of lip service — we’re in the business of action.
HHS was proud to be a stop on the @MobilizeRecover bus tour this morning. The bus I'm signing is a representation of where our country is going — our country is on the road to hope. Because recovery is about hope. #MobilizeRecovery#RecoveryMonth
I want to thank @SecBecerra for welcoming the #MobilizeRecovery bus tour to @hhs today. Thanks for listening to a bit of my story and helping amplify the millions of voices of those in or seeking #recovery. #RecoveryMonth
