    The Trump administration is committed to ending the crisis of opioid addiction and overdose in America. To fight this epidemic, @HHSGov has formulated a comprehensive, five-point strategy, which is grounded in the best science and evidence we have: https://www.hhs.gov/opioids pic.twitter.com/BpAkiZWPH5

        Tell me again how strong the evidence base is for CBT , "Pain Acceptance", Accupunture vs. Pain MEDS? AND the CDC's One Size Fits All MME dosing cap? Your blatant GENOCIDE is showing again Sir! #PainKills, #screamlouder #SCREAM, #SuicideDueToPain #Suicide @realDonaldTrump

        You are not promoting evidence based treatment for pain management because the definition of EBT is treating patient as an individual. Thanks to cdc and gov policies pain patients are not treated as individuals with what works best for them

        This is all about promoting the pharmaceutical co indivior that makes suboxone. That's all it's about. You want nonopioid pain meds yet mat is an opioid and also addictive.

        Get rid of government mandated pain control rules regarding hospitalized patients and patient satisfaction surveys as a means for physician reimbursement. Throw in tort reform for good measure. This will decrease physician Rx. Main issue is still illicit drug use.

        Please don’t punish patients who use opiates responsibly. You have done well to identify that there is a problem, however you have also created a hysteria which makes Drs. Hesitant to prescribe these meds even after a major surgery

        @SecAzar @HHSGov I'm going to vomit! How much did Big Pharma PAY you for this commercial for #MAT and the new "non-addictive" pain med in the pipeline? Guess you can pocket the money saved from all the vets and disabled on Medicare & Soc. Sec. DYING from UNTREATED PAIN TOO!!

        I thought science and evidence were both on the “banned words” list? Or is that only at the NIH?

        Sorry I could not finish. Pain was last treatment first. I do not use opiods to get high, you're narrative is wrong.When you took people off their meds you created a crisis. Yes, a crisis of under treated pain. You also let the ingredients for making fentanly on line for shopper

        Replying to @SecAzar @HHSGov

        I agree. All the points of the opioid plan are valuable, other than the constant reinforcement of maintenance drugs. Treatment is actually treating the individual for whatever distress they are feeling and providing them freedom from drug dependence. #OpioidFree #DrugTreatment
