Alberta is light years ahead of us on drug treatment and #recovery. But, there's always hope for change. "With free addiction treatment, recovery is possible." #SanFrancisco Image
10,000 treatment spaces coming on line in Alberta 🇨🇦. If only #California would invest in addiction treatment this way. @GavinNewsom Image
Medically assisted treatment as part of the continuum of care to help sustain recovery from addiction and overcome withdrawals from drugs like Fentanyl. They have it all. Image
The Province of Alberta has clearly become a leader in North America for addiction treatment. We should all take note of what's happening here. The entire model is designed by people in recovery. It's special.

I want to thank the city of #Calgary for being such a gracious host as I attended the @recovery_summit this week. The "Alberta Model" is a blueprint for addiction treatment and recovery in North America. #ROSC #AlbertaModel Image
This model embraces the full continuum of care from harm reduction, including medically assisted treatment and OPS sites, all the way to residential treatment while keeping the focus on building recovery capital. ImageImageImageImage
With a plan to add thousands of beds in recovery based therapeutic communities, this model offers hope to those experiencing homelessness and substance use disorder. (addiction) by offering transitional housing after treatment. ImageImageImage

What this opinion by @JustMrPhillips fails to mention is the 10+ times they mentioned the word "recovery." You know how many times @SF_DPH mentions "recovery" in there new 3 year OD prevention plan? Three times. Three. In a 72 page plan. #SanFrancisco sfchronicle.com/bayarea/justin…
The bottom line is that @mattdorsey @BrookeJenkinsSF @LondonBreed & @SFPDChief at least recognize recovery. I was in the Tenderloin and SOMA yesterday. There's a subset of people that need a "nudge" toward recovery. If we leave them out there, they'll die.
Illicit Fentanyl has changed the game. It crosses all demographic lines. It doesn't care who you are. You can be an OG homeless guy or a young teenager. We must intervene with a combination of healthcare and public safety approaches.

I'm going to go on a little rant about politics and ideology in #SanFrancisco as it pertains to crime, homelessness and drugs. Mind you, I'm a biracial middle class male who 4+ years ago found myself homeless and badly addicted to heroin. 🧵 sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
Prior to falling into my addiction, I guess I thought I was a Progressive. I voted Democrat in every election since 1988. My dad was an old Teamster and a "Kennedy Democrat" and I grew up being told Reagan was the worst President in history.
Then in my 40's I fell out. I made some bad financial decisions and found myself at a dead-end county job with CCSF. I was unhappy, worried all the time about money, my marriage was tanking. Enter Oxycodone and everything changed.

This is the most important piece of writing I've seen on why we have a drug and homeless crisis in this city. The jig is up. Let's unpack. 🧵 #SanFrancisco michaelshellenberger.substack.com/p/san-francisc…
@ShellenbergerMD was contacted by a former "homeless expert" in SF. That person literally confirms everything Shellenberger and I have been saying about "open drug scenes" and more importantly, who is actually controlling policy around the "homeless crisis" in SF.
“To pretend that this city could build enough permanent supportive housing for every homeless person who needs it is ludicrous,” the person said. “I wish it weren’t."

Is there any another city that has 1,000 organized drug dealers "working" in plain site in broad daylight downtown? Truly a self inflicted wound. And we're all hurting for it. @ShellenbergerMD
The collateral damage to the community is obvious. This isn't harm reduction.
What's "equitable" about a community made up of mostly BIPOC going to city hall with their kids asking for intervention while those who defend the status quo live up the hills in neighborhoods shielded by geography from this decline? sfchronicle.com/sf/bayarea/hea…

"Is it humane to allow people to live, get sick and too often die in encampments, knowing they will likely wait years for housing?" latimes.com/california/sto…
This is the question we must ask ourselves and our elected leaders throughout #California. It's time for "Right To Shelter" in this state. It delivers for all sides. @CAgovernor @MayorOfLA @LondonBreed
Homeless encampments or "Open Drug Scenes" would be broken up. People moved indoors or to a safe space, buys time to create permanent supportive housing while offering services to the homeless. @ShellenbergerMD @calif_peace
