An Effective Treatment for Opioid Addiction Exists. Why Isn’t It Used More?

  “divided into three groups. One received a referral to addiction-treatment services outside the hospital. Another group received a similar referral, along with a brief counseling session at the hospital. And a third group received both the referral and the counseling while also starting on buprenorphine, taken daily as a tablet. After a month, this last cohort was about twice as likely as the other two groups to remain in treatment.”

  … the category that implemented the most support was the most effective, who could’ve guessed… i like how its a white collar guy asking his doctor for something and being granted it… i bet it doesn’t go that way every time-- just a hunch- this buprenorphine is probably not covered by your insurance

  just the perfect time to reach the end of the sample and hit a paywall, thanks nytimes.

  I can’t read this article because it’s the NYT and they don’t get a dime.

  But, duh, ‘they’ want the addicted to die.
