What a historic moment! Overdose prevention centers in NYC! They will help save lives, link people to care, and improve conditions in surrounding neighborhoods. nytimes.com/2021/11/30/nyr…

For more than 29 years, we have dedicated our lives to ending #overdose deaths & the criminalization & stigma associated with substance use. Being the 1st OPC site in the US is an honor & incredible step forward in ending the #overdosecrisis #wearethemedicine #THISSITESAVESLIVES

“Addiction medicine is medicine” - IM residents find the new, required #addictionmedicine rotation to be highly valuable (esp the consult service!!!) from my amazing mentors Dr Tiffany Lu Dr. Kristine Torres-Lockhart Melissa Stein MD Montefiore - Einstein Addiction Medicine #sgim22 #meded

Couldn't be prouder!

Confused about the change in the DEA 3-day rule? The new rule allows providers at clinics, hospitals, or ERs to dispense a 3-day supply of OUD medications at once, instead of a 1-day supply. Providers do NOT need to have an X-waiver for this.

This was a labor of love - made possible by an amazing clinical team + fantastic study team. We need to improve linkage to care for office based buprenorphine treatment, starting w low threshold policies!

2021 provisional data from nychealthy show that drug overdose deaths are increasing at record numbers. It’s never been more important to embrace harm reduction & treat addiction. That’s why NYS OASAS is expanding support for these services across NY. www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/dow…
