Addiction shouldn’t be a death sentence. We have the tools to help people. #harmreductionsaveslives

Harm reduction doesn't eliminate harm, it reduces it.

Here is a simple understanding

Designated drivers are making sure people arrive home safely after a night out of partying with alcohol /drugs is HARM REDUCTION‼️

Harm reduction doesn't encourage drug use, it simply understands that people are going to do them whether we like it or not and it's important to reduce those harms just like we would for anything else! #Harmreduction #wedorecover #Allthetools

Addiction is a complicated medical diagnosis to treat. While there's more to learn about MAT, it still remains one of the most effective, evidence based treatment options and should be made available to those who could benefit from it.

As we say goodbye to the '24 legislative session we're grateful that HF 5247 will provide Minnesotans with access to services during/after incarceration and overall fewer barriers to receiving life saving services. Time to celebrate the wins and prepare for next year! Stay tuned.

The war on drugs must end.

Punitive drug policy has led to over-incarceration and prison overcrowding globally. It has driven involuntary treatment and detention of people who use drugs.

"The opioid epidemic, fueled by a surge in fentanyl use, has shattered thousands of families across Minnesota. It has hit hardest among the state's people of color, who die at disproportionately high rates when compared with white Minnesotans."

Education, research, and evidence matter. Increasing access to MAT ≠ more overdoses. It does, however, equal more lives saved and better treatment outcomes. #medicationassistedtreatment #evidencebasedtreatment #recovery #harmreduction
