@NPR Maybe the 2018 SUPPORT Act (https://t.co/QZCGNBIbqw) had a positive effect on the DEA's position, who paved the way allowing us to launch the first ever TeleMAT program (Suboxone via Telemedicine) in 2020. A glimpse of hope in the opioid crisis.
@JoshNgKamstra Agreed! Many of our Tele-MAT patients report harsh treatment and judgment in hospitals/EDs whenever they mention they are suffering from OUD. Often pain meds and/or Suboxone are being withheld from them. Time for this stigmatization to change.
