Access to life-saving medically assisted treatment (MAT) is still limited across SWVA and nationwide. With hard to navigate regulations and inconsistency among pharmacies, there’s a need for a comprehensive care facility for SUD recovery more than ever virginiamercury.com/2022/04/…

Southwest Virginia patients struggle with access to addiction medication • Virginia Mercury

Pharmacies in Southwest Virginia are not willing to dispense medications used to treat opioid use disorder.

BREAKING: we now have 400 people signed up to blockade the Grant Town Power Plant - which exclusively burns Joe Manchin’s coal. But we need to recruit 100s more for the blockade to hold. Can you RT and follow along to make that happen?

Hokies for SUD Recovery@hokies4recovery2 Apr 2022
Senator Deeds sees the value of a comprehensive state mental health system and saving lives from the opioid crisis. With the state budget to be finalized on Monday 4/4, your Senators need to hear your support for incorporating HB105 into SB30 item 317. roanoke.com/opinion/editoria…

Editorial: Stalling mental health reforms make the crisis worse

Pushes for improvements to Virginia’s mental health system, like reforms to social services, don’t generate opportunities for media grandstanding or for courting deep-pocketed campaign donors.

Sometimes, when I'm writing an article, I'll write it as badly as possible first (including swear words and run-on sentences) and then edit the heck out of it to make it good again, just to get myself to start writing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Positive news… “abuse” will likely now be removed from names of NIDA, NIAAA, SAMHSA, CSAT, CSAP. Officially changed in President’s proposed FY23 Budget -still need to be passed by Congress. 1/3
