The No. 1 cause of death for those under 50 is overdose, but hospital care for addiction is confused and disorganized. That must change.

Treatment for addiction should be like that for a heart attack: swift, sure and standardized

More than 20 million people in the US have a Substance Use Disorder yet only 10% receive treatment. We must treat #addiction to save lives.

As of March 2022, practitioners working in hospitals, clinics, & emergency rooms can request an exception from the DEA - allowing them to dispense a 3-day supply of methadone to treat patients experiencing acute opioid withdrawal symptoms.

Exciting day on the Yale Addiction Medicine Consult Service! We dispensed our first 3 hospital “doses to go” of methadone via the DEA exception to 21 CFR 1306.07(b)!! This person with OUD benefited from a seamless hospital transition! Here with Dr. Annie Dowton @YaleADM @YaleIMed

Fentanyl, according to the CDC, is up to 100 times more potent than morphine and many times that of heroin. Only about a 3-milligram dose of fentanyl is enough to kill an average-sized adult male. #DrugFacts #NDAFW

A Vermont needle exchange isn’t just giving out syringes. It’s offering treatment on the spot.

Vermont built up addiction treatment in response to the opioid crisis. But the state’s work isn’t done yet.
