Please direct opioid funding to evidence-based treatment

Drug Czar Michael Botticelli

Appropriating funds to combat the opioid epidemic is a good first step, but throwing money at the problem alone won't be enough to solve it. As The Huffington Post has reported, too much of the treatment industry continues to rely on superstition and anecdotes in delivering treatment, when instead there are evidence-based approaches that have been shown to be more effective. Let's follow the evidence.
