If you know someone in the homeless or addiction communities that need product(s) from Walmart but can’t afford it, please send them to us and we can hopefully pay and ship it to them! #GiveBack #Addiction #Recovery
Deeply disappointed with the lack of solution-oriented responses to the Presidents during the Debate. There is SO much work to be done in making treatment accessible.
In order to increase engagement in treatment it’s important to understand what are the most often cited reasons why people don’t seek treatment. What else have you seen as a reason people don’t choose treatment?
Family members and friends of those with a substance use disorder are often a forgotten casualty of the addiction crisis. Here are just some of the groups that offered tailored support networks for these special people in our lives who try everything to support! #Addiction #SUD
The “illegal immigrants” and “open border” narrative when it comes to fentanyl doesn’t match with the facts. Take a look at real data. #Facts 📊
This is great news from the Hill. Call your Senator to support this piece of legislation that will keep in place live-saving flexibilities currently in place for the remote prescribing of medication for OUD! #Congress #Addiction #Recovery #OUD
Most people with an addiction don’t work? Not true! A recent inquiry in the US, found that 60% of those with a SUD do in fact work.
As substance use disorder begins in adolescence with symptom onset by 18 years of age in 50% of individuals, it is ESSENTIAL that treatment centers across the States, start not only serving teens but start making medications like buprenorphine available.
Learning how to spot the difference between an opioid overdose and a stimulant overdose (also called overamping) can be really helpful! Always call 911! And remember narcan is not harmful no matter what.
An update on our work in Florida! Helping others is what it’s all about #EqualAccesstoTreatment 🚘 💊
Some great news that has been a long time coming! One step in the right direction but frankly, the LEAST that can be done given where we are at.
Some great news to share - we will sending out #Xylazine test strips to those who need them! Just comment or send us a dm to request! #HarmReduction 👏🏼
A well written piece on a subject many in the general public aren't tracking

Read up on DARE and its failures in the way it was “teaching” kids about drugs. Really good lessons learned here and proves why they changed their mission slightly when they realized what they were doing wasn’t working!
