The status quo is not good enough. We need new approaches to care and we need to think outside the stale (and largely ineffective) box of current available supports for #PWUD. There’s plenty of room for critique here, but the creativity, community building, and the fierce recovery allyship at work in Portland, Ohio are something to behold. #Recovery #Addiction #MentalHealth

And as to how to reach these goals, as #pwud and #harmreduction'ists, it's also well past time to cull those content to just fixing enough that they can sleep at night.
Tactical alliances are one thing, watering down our goals is another.

@stevelord I C&P posted some nasal care for sniffers recently on someone’s thread.
I need to get an account with bigger posting allowances or break it down into toot sized bites. Search #HarmReduction #PWUD people who use drugs or #ketamine

@stevelord I’m guessing NLP isn’t NeuroLinguisticProgramming?
Which got me excited 🤓
I’ve been thinking about #HaarmReduction tools for #DrugWork #SubstanceUse #PWUD as I’ve created loads over time that I want to share and perhaps work on collaboratively.

Recently read a review of factors contributing to the opioid epidemic by Cerdá et al. Would highly recommend it to anyone interested in a concise and approachable rundown. I summarized it if time is of the essence.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17488958221142478 Research into how police decide whether to arrest people stopped and found with cannabis!
Shows societal privilege and racism (+ personal bias) impact criminal consequences- no surprise. Very good to see more evidence which can inform the practice of policing.

SAMSHA is proposing that the COVID-Era medication assisted treatment exemptions become permanent. This significantly expands outreach and access abilities and treats #pwud with more dignity. #harmreduction is also to be included in supplemental interventions and stigmatizing language is being removed from program literature. It’s open for public comment https://www.samhsa.gov/newsroom/press-announcements/20221213/update-federal-rules-expand-access-opioid-use-disorder-treatment
