People suffering from addiction and serious mental illnesses are frequently subjected to stigma, and many remain under-diagnosed, under-treated and under-supported.
Opioid Use Disorder
Addiction is a chronic disease that can and must be treated. We strive to help patients along their journey to recovery by developing treatment options for opioid use disorder. Medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is increasingly recognized as an important part of addressing the opioid crisis.
Additionally, one of the greatest obstacles along a patient’s journey is social stigma. No one is immune from addiction. It can affect men and women of all ages, races, ethnic groups, and educational levels.
It can happen to anyone – a friend, a neighbor, a coworker, a spouse, a brother, a sister, or parent. No one sets out to become addicted.
We intend to transform addiction from a global human crisis to a recognized and treated disease worldwide. The numbers are staggering. The need is clear. That is why we place the patient at the center of our decisions.
