  The only Meds I was referring to in Video was *Anxiety Meds* for Herion withdrawals! They had in their possession Methadone, Subutex & Naltrexone to maintain her agonizing withdrawal to treat her Lungs to enter Detox/Rehab-They chose *Xanax*!

  Also important for persons with #alcohol #use #disorder to get immediate access to liver transplant waitlists, without a 6-month wait, which is worse than trial. It often means death sentence. #End6MonthWait #EndStigma Wait not backed by research. http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(18)30442-6/fulltext …
