Fact check: more than 80% of those arrested at the Southern border for fentanyl are US citizens. nytimes.com/2024/09/28/wor…

Blaming the border for fentanyl is a distraction that won’t address the US overdose crisis. Fentanyl demand is mostly driven by US citizens. Elected leaders must increase funding & resources within our border w health approaches that save lives & address root causes. #Debates2024

I talked to a young man this morning who walks 1 hour and 15 minutes each way to get to the clinic every day. He responded to my gasp with, “what can I do, I like being sober?” It’s absurd how difficult it is to get such an important medication. #freemethadone

Over a dozen lawmakers in Congress signed this letter to ONDCP, U.S. Department of Justice, HHS.gov, and The White House urging to preserve the current telehealth flexibilities for buprenorphine products approved to treat opioid use disorder (OUD). downloads.asam.org/sitefinity-pro…

We’ll never stop advocating for patients who deserve to access care in the ways that work for them — and for the caregivers with whom patients make these important decisions. Thanks Ben Leonard for staying so close to this critical policy issue!

Exciting news! Trillium Community Health Plan members in OR now have access to SUD treatment through Boulder Care. To learn more, hear from Boulder CEO Stephanie Papes Strong at HLTH conference today. being-boulder.webflow.io/articles/bould…

The world needs visionary, compassionate leaders. I’m thrilled to deepen Boulder’s exec team as we advance our mission

DEA’s remote prescribing rules (a general proposed rule and a buprenorphine-specific final rule) are out! My writeup here: modernhealthcare.com/policy/dea-bup…

The DEA issued a series of regulations that would allow more flexibility for doctors looking to prescribe controlled substances like oxycodone or buprenorphine online. By Ganny A. Belloni. news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and…

🚨 Big news for #Telehealth: The DEA proposes a special registration for prescribing controlled substances via telemedicine—no in-person visit required! This could improve access to care for mental health, OUD treatment & more. #Healthcare #PolicyUpdate healthcaredive.com/news/dea-propo…

Working as a peer, Wesley saw treatment facilities discharge patients, cutting them off from necessary treatment. At Boulder Care, Wesley says he can truly meet people where they are and recognize many pathways to recovery.

+1 for high-performing teams. We think saying IDK makes us seem incompetent, when it actually makes us more credible! A culture that supports vulnerability invites people to be clear when they don’t know; trust is built when confessions are met with problem-solving vs. criticism

“There are probably 150 people who control healthcare in America, and they don’t really want anything to change” Dr. Mehmet Oz — 💯 I’ve dedicated my career to healthcare innovation, and this point is perhaps the single most influential (and unappreciated) barrier to progress.

The honor of a lifetime, spending a few weeks dreaming up a better world with this extraordinary group of people

.DEA HQ Derek Maltz Sr thank you for committing to make medications for OUD accessible! To do this, please fix the red tape reg on methadone for OUD, which is not based on the best reading of statute, as we noted in our letter to you last week: downloads.asam.org/sitefinity-pro…
