Such a thrill to have Stephanie Strong and her new-ish colleague Marianna Zaslavsky from @BoulderCare on THCB to discuss their program, what Medicaid cuts will mean and much more

First-year over-the-counter naloxone sales showed limited uptake and did not effectively bridge gaps from pharmacy or distribution programs, likely due to high prices. ja.ma/47IVTSG @BradleyDStein @RosannaSmart
It’s National Recovery Month: Define your own recovery. Peer Specialist Wes B. says you don’t have to conform to what others think. Be yourself.
A very moving obituary for Louise Vincent by @nabarund. Few did more than Louise to advance the movement of harm reduction and change the narrative of drug use. opioiddatalab.ghost.io/rip-l…
This #NationalRecoveryMonth is about celebrating recovery your way. There is no right way or single path. People thrive when they are given the choice to blaze their own trail and find what works for them.
To #EndOverdose we must take bold action. Sunday is International Overdose Awareness Day — a day of remembrance for those we’ve lost and a commitment to doing our part: expanding access to life-saving medicine that prevents overdose.

Medicaid is facing the largest cuts in the program’s 60 year history: $1 trillion over 10 years. Millions could lose their coverage. Tell your Reps that you stand with the Majority of Americans who support Medicaid.
Today Medicaid Turns 60. That's 60 years of providing essential health coverage to millions of Americans. The promise to care for every American regardless of their income is under threat by new legislation. There is still time to make noise save Medicaid from disastrous cuts.
🧵 61% of Americans are unaware that primary care doctors can prescribe medications like Suboxone to treat opioid addiction. Why does this matter?
Primary care doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants can prescribe medication like Suboxone in office visits. But there’s a snag. The system is overwhelmed.

"As it stands, over 20 percent of the typical rural hospital budget comes from Medicaid. Cuts of the size included in the B.B.B. will lead to closures in the coming years at alarmingly high rates," explains @UMichSPH prof Michael Shepherd in the @NYTimes: myumi.ch/E86mM
