Silos and Mixed Messages

“’No matter where you turn in this epidemic,’ East
Tennessee State University public health professor
Robert Pack told me, ‘there are systems in place to
address the problems, but none of them are working
together.’ The biggest barrier to collaboration is the fact
that everyone involved views the problem too rigidly—
through the lens of how they get paid….”

‘Cries for help’: Drug overdoses are soaring during the
coronavirus pandemic…Washington Post

 Alarming spikes in drug overdoses — a hidden epidemic within the coronavirus
   pandemic.

 Emerging evidence … isolation, economic devastation and disruptions to
   the drug trade in recent months are fueling the surge.

 But data obtained by The Washington Post from a real-time tracker of drug-
   related emergency calls and interviews with coroners suggest that overdoses
   have not just increased since the pandemic began but are accelerating as it
   persists.

A New Addiction Crisis: Treatment Centers Face Financial
Collapse
 In April, the National Council for Behavioral Health surveyed its 3,400
   members, most of whom are nonprofit community treatment centers.
 Nearly all — 92.6% of both residential and outpatient centers — had cut
   back their programs, forcing many to furlough employees or lay them off.
 A month into the pandemic, two-thirds of those centers said they had
   enough cash to last three months or less.
