Trump opioid plan - with feds assisting people getting treatment?

Trump's long-awaited plan will focus on three areas: Law enforcement and interdiction, prevention and education through a sizable advertising campaign,, improving the ability to fund treatment through the federal government, and help those impacted by the epidemic find jobs while fighting addiction, Bremberg and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said.

The White House has said it accepts the 56 recommendations that a commission set up by Trump to combat drug addiction and the opioid crisis. These are:

1. Block grant federal funding for opioid-related and SUD-related activities. Provide uniform block grants, which will allow more resources to be spent on life-saving programmes.

..

32. Adopt the process, outcome and prognostic measures of treatment services presented by the National Outcome Measurement and the American Society of Addiction Medicine.

33. Remove any policy barriers (including financial) for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatments.

34. Re-evaluate and modify the proposed rates of treating SUD to ensure patients aren’t limited by financial costs.

..

51. Encourage cooperation between government agencies to develop quality standards and best practices for recovery residences.

..

54. Further research technology-assisted monitoring and treatments for addiction patients. Implement a faster review process to get treatments to patients quicker.

..

56. The FDA should establish guidelines for post-market surveillance related to diversion, addiction and other adverse consequences of controlled substances.





Hopefully the feds will help addicts get the MAT treatment they need.

I can just imagine Rubin having his first meeting with Soricimed BOD and they ask him---"What's going on at TTNP", and he tells them something positive about to happen, and as soon as he leaves, they (BOD) are on their phones telling wives, kids, aunts & uncles & friends about TTNP & they all buy into it & cause the "spike to $1.23.-------Any other theories ?????

PS:----This spike happened in a "flash"---so to speak----just a matter of minutes
