Expert Insights
A pilot program near Fremont, California was recently started to help teens who present to the emergency room for issues related to opioid addiction. The goal is to get these teenagers into rehab programs before ever leaving the local emergency room.
Research shows this intervention can lead to long-term success in recovery. I am eager to see the results and data from this program, as I am expecting to see confirmation that it does help to get people (of all ages) into treatment immediately instead of letting them leave the ER and continue abusing opioids.
