Support Beto’s Plan to Address Substance Use Disorders and the Opioid Epidemic

Every day, more than 130 human beings die after overdosing on opioids. 47,000 human beings a year are losing their lives this way. And a countless number of family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and communities are suffering from the devastating effects of this epidemic. 

We needed to address this crisis yesterday. Victims of this crisis deserve our support and we must hold every single person responsible for manufacturing this public health emergency to the highest degree of accountability. 

That's why Beto created a 5-part plan to address the opioid epidemic and support individuals struggling with substance use disorders. 

    1. End the stigma around substance use disorders, focusing on public awareness. 
    2. Provide access to health care and interventions that promote long-term recovery.
    3. Ensure that individuals with chronic pain are not denied access to these medications for whom proper usage of opioids are life-sustaining pharmacotherapy.
    4. Target the supply chain that has allowed this epidemic to flourish. 
    5. Support those recovering from substance use disorder, opioid use disorder, and alcohol use disorder to reach economic stability.
