“As the statistics demonstrate, it is likely that many, if not most of us here today have been touched by the opioid crisis; and like you, for me the opioid crisis is not just pressing, but personal” Speaking @APHAAnnualMtgpic.twitter.com/EArcXDvRsP
“ I have often said that stigma is one of our biggest killers, and unless individuals feel comfortable seeking help for their addiction, we will not be able to reach those who need help the most.” @PublicHealth @APHAAnnualMtg
"It is important we recognize that addiction is a chronic disease, but effective treatment is available, and people recover every day." @PublicHealth @APHAAnnualMtg
Due to the Opioid Crisis my PCP forced me into a Pain Clinic that cut my much needed pain medication almost in half with NO wean time, causing painful withdrawals. I am a chronic pain patient, not a drug addict. We need to help everyone but plz don't forget about people like me.
Your rhetoric is helping cause stigma against people that benefit from opioid therapy. It feels as if your personal bias is dictating the message you convey to the public. For people with pain that will not subside, they too wish the stigma would end. #OpioidStigma #CPAG
Statistics also say cancer patients, disabled people & addiction sufferers would all have a much lower mortality rate if Rx opioids were more accessible. If you care about lost lives so much when are you planning on ending this phony crackdown?

WHAT ABOUT MY QUALITY OF LIFE?
individuals are having to travel up to 2 hours or more to get to a methadone or suboxone clinic. People don't want clinics in their "backyards" and file complaints. Government has to step in and raise awareness. Shutting clinics down and letting addicts die not the answer.
