U.S. Surgeon General on Twitter: "As the Surgeon General, I am focused on preventing addiction before it starts, working with our communities to destigmatize addiction, and putting naloxone, which is a lifesaving medication that serves as a #bridgetocare, in the hands of first responders and community members."

U.S. Surgeon General VADM Jerome M. Adams. (Note: Tweets prior to 9/12/17 were from previous Surgeons General.)

  Great, but it is only a lifesaver at that moment. True lifesaving comes when hospitals provide actual care and treatment like Buprenorphine in the ED and provides a warm handoff to care. But no one requires them to do this. They have license to discriminate against drug users.

  I support your effort and fighting right beside you. How can we encourage Schools, Churches, and other organizations to help spread awareness and stop Judgement. The sooner we change the Stigma the more likely those suffering will reach out. #Opioid @KellyannePolls @SecAzarpic.twitter.com/HSZgLl2sRw
