1/5 This week’s #SundaySpotlight on #publichealth science highlights the important role of primary care settings in combating #opioidepidemic—read commentary in #PublicHealthReports bit.ly/33oJteP
2/5 Primary care is often a gateway to health care for people with substance use disorder, many of whom still remain untreated, despite the availability of effective interventions.
3/5 Therefore primary care should be better integrated with substance use disorder services and mental health services.
I told crowd today that while I appreciate the applause when I said I was in recovery, that they shouldn’t be clapping. I’m not special or a modern medical marvel. I’m a product of having access to evidence-based medical care, robust community supports, & a lot of privilege (1/n)
There was a lot of head nods as I asked them not to put me or my recovery on a pedastool, and more than a few shocked faces.
It is true, however, and more of us need to challenge social norms that may occur when we state our identity. (2/n)

Clapping for recovery status insinuates that I somehow had the moral fortitude to overcome, or the persistence to triumph...all concepts that reinforce a faulty perception of what causes substance use disorder in the first place. (3/n)
(1/6) In honor of #RecoveryMonth , this #SundaySpotlight is focusing on “Facing Addiction In America—The Surgeon General’s Spotlight on Opioids"
(2/6) In order to help end the #OpioidCrisis we must eradicate the #stigma surrounding addiction. Addiction is a chronic but treatable brain disease, and not a moral failing or character flaw.
(3/6) #DYK that the addiction process is a 3️⃣ stage cycle? This includes: Binge (Intoxication), Withdrawal (Negative Affect), and Preoccupation (Anticipation). This cycle becomes more severe as a person continues substance use.
