We also know treatment, including evidence-based methods like medication-assisted treatment, is essential to this fight.
On recovery, we’re committed to working with our partners on the front lines to provide funding and technical assistance.
The idea that govt's job is preventing people from accessing legally approved medication to save them from addiction (when addiction doesn't work that way) is an arrogant use of self-serving collective force, disguised as altruism. @SecShulkin @KellyannePolls @lizbethkb @ONDCP
