“The choice is between creating centers where people can not die from overdose versus [...] die behind bedroom doors down the hall from their parents, in public restrooms & alleyways.” - Sr. Medical Director for Substance Use Disorders, @DrSarahWakeman. We need legislation. ⬇️

Buprenorphine is a lifesaving medication approved for pregnant people w/ opioid use disorder. Patients on this medication are 50% less likely to die of a fatal overdose. But the drug war gives parents w/ 2 options: 1) overdose, or 2) lose your kids. nytimes.com/2023/06/29/magaz…

So excited to share my essay in @washingtonpost @madebyhistory. Nixon-era, War on Drugs politics are to blame for the stigma and inaccessibility of methadone, one of the most effective medications for opioid addiction. washingtonpost.com/made-by-h…

Currently, I have patients (multiple) needing surgery on dead limbs due to frostbite AND patients (multiple) hospitalized with severe burns from propane-fueled tent fires. Being homeless means you’re damned if you do AND if you don’t. It’s life threatening either way.

In 2020, nearly 92,000 people fatally overdosed. When I asked @DrSarahWakeman why that happened, she blamed "failed policies" and stigma and said, "No one should die from an overdose." pbs.org/newshour/health/over…

Creating a deadline for homelessness will not work. Offering rushed and limited options for storage of belongings does not make this plan humane. #stopthesweeps
Mayor @MayorKimJaney has given people living on mass and cass an 8am deadline to clear their tents @GBHNews

"Compulsory treatment violates the trust of the very people we are trying to help," says Dr. Sarah Wakeman, Medical Director for Substance Use Disorder at MGH, at a presser at #MassAndCass. "The only solution to houselessness is housing."
