A Movement Towards Addiction Management

Speakers:

About this Session:

Substance abuse disorder affects just shy of 50 million Americans, with rates steadily rising for decades. Addiction’s societal impact is profound, particularly as increasing rates of opioid use contributes to homelessness and housing instability, exacerbating social disparities and poor health outcomes. Vulnerable and underserved populations, often already marginalized in our healthcare system, bear the brunt of this crisis. Where are the comprehensive solutions to address addiction and all of the interconnected challenges? And where can increased federal oversight have a positive impact? It’s a challenge many have stepped up to meet, so let’s meet these dedicated health leaders!
