“On average, people initiating BUP-ER discontinue within the first 6 months of treatment… the high occurrence of discontinuation, supplementation w/ SL buprenorphine, & frequent dose increases suggest inadequacy of current dosing recommendations.”

WTF are you thinking giving drivers a free pass to park in a bike lane @PBOTinfo this is SO dangerous 😡

Consider a kid on a bike riding through here. THAT should be your priority, not residents losing their free on-street parking

Powerful comments by #AMERSA2023 plenary Mishka Terplan suggest that the word “stigma” confuses the matter of WHO is acting and applying a view and who can potentially correct discriminatory or prejudicial responses

Among NY Medicaid beneficiaries who start MOUD, highest retention in Methadone at 77%, lowest in Naltrexone at 9% #AMERSA2023

[Michael Andersen @andersem]

that's a transpo bureau that claims to be broke, removing a new bike lane

from a street designated years ago as a city bikeway

because it connects to the city's biggest destination for working-class jobs

without announcing the removal https://t.co/et3hOgNiI0

.@jessgregg1 is a physician who treats addiction for a living. Many of her patients live in makeshift encampments on the streets in Portland, Oregon—and those encampments often feel a world away from the treatment center where she works.

Phenomenal piece by Maia Szalavitz on the harms of journalistic narratives surrounding addiction and the importance of getting it right

Sam Quinones argues new meth creates “zombies” & drives crime in cities. There is no scientific evidence for these assertions. Targeting a population/ drug as an easy explanation for complex social ills is not just wrong, it is shameful. In American Scholar

It is simply unbelievable that in the midst of our current crisis of fentanyl-related deaths, prescribers still struggle to make these lifesaving (and inexpensive) medications available to those who desperately need them. @maiasz @ZachWritesStuff @DrugPolicyOrg

Great piece by @maiasz coercion/mandatory treatment is NOT evidence based, and we dont use anecdotes to guide public policy plain and simple.. We have evidence based voluntary treatment that ⬇️ mortality by over 50% (Buprenorphine/methadone)
