Expert Insights
I recently heard about the new mobile addiction treatment unit in Saint Louis and I think it’s an innovative idea. I know how hard it can be for people to access addiction treatment, even if they have insurance, because there just aren’t enough resources for the area. That’s critical, in my opinion, because 48 percent of opioid deaths occur in the St. Louis metro area. Taking addiction treatment on the road allows providers to help people directly in the community and I think it should help to reduce overdoses and even provide other services to support people struggling, like food stamps.
