Yes, heard Kurt Snyder speak to ND Women's Network conference: opioid crisis took the lives of 72K people in ONE year; Vietnam took 58K over war’s duration. To address opioid deaths, need all pillars: education, take back programs, law enforcement, Rx drug monitoring, treatment

One doctor calls the lack of an integrated treatment and recovery system tragic. “It’s tragic because (addiction) is a disease we know how to treat. This is a disease science has given us the tools to address,” ASAM Member Dr. David Gastfriend said. njtvonline.org/news/video/rep…

We have many of the answers to ending the opioid epidemic. Can we rise above the stigma and unnecessary barriers? atforum.com/2018/09/americ…

Peer Support Day! The Governor and First Lady are making history by lifting up peer support advocates and breaking down the shame and stigma of behavioral health. North Dakota is so lucky to have the power of the Governor’s Office making a real difference in people’s lives!

Today, we held the first-ever Peer Support Day at the Capitol, which highlighted services in ND & recognized the work of peer support specialists. These services play an important role in the recovery process, and we'll continue to work to enable access. #SupportPeerSupport

Encouraging news from Heartview Foundation! They received a grant from the Dept. of Agriculture to implement telemedicine services to treat addiction, further connecting patients to providers in rural areas! bit.ly/2QlMKVw
