Stopping the drugs, Mr. Trump wants us to believe, will let the wholesome, traditional American culture that he idealizes to flourish again. As a historian of drugs, I can tell you this is wrong in almost every way. #opoids #fentanyl @maiasz.bsky.social

If a Doctor decides to cut a Patient off from a Clean supply, he or she playing god with their lives and rolling dice he or she shouldn't be rolling. We know the odds are not in favor of Patients going cold turkey when cut off.

#Fentanyl and other drugs killed more than 31,000 people under the age of 35 in 2021. By last year, that number had plummeted to 16,690 fatal overdoses. Why? Theories include the wider distribution of Narcan,; weaker, less deadly fentanyl; and increased treatment. #opoids #addictions #recovery

Trump administration praised ‘life-saving’ naloxone, then proposed cuts Public health experts are worried by the proposed cuts to naloxone programs. One called the overdose antidote a “silver bullet” against the opioid epidemic.

#Naloxone, commonly known as #Narcan, has saved tens of thousands of lives. Wider access to the drug has helped the country begin turning the tide in an opioid epidemic. #opoids #addictions

Why Has America Ignored Its Best Addiction Treatment? Buprenorphine can stop cravings for opioids, yet its uptake in the U.S. has stagnated.

The stagnant rates for using #buprenorphine can be blamed on stigma, a lack of infrastructure within primary care, and fear of DEA repercussions. @maiasz.bsky.social #addictions #opoids #recovery

There is no evidence RFK Jr.'s plan for “healing” farms somehow helps people quit drugs Science, not drug farms, is the answer to keeping our overdose numbers low

Drug treatment farms sound idyllic, but they are often rife with abuse. Moreover, there is dubious evidence that they are even effective. @maiasz #addictions #opoids #alcoholism
