They give devastating news when they have to, bearing the burden of our grief or pain. Since doctors are already such a huge part of our society, it is natural that they would be a solid hand to help in this crises of Opiate abuse.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse discusses the role of our medical professionals in addressing substance abuse:
“Medical professionals have an important role to play in screening their adolescent patients for drug use, providing brief interventions, referring them to substance abuse treatment if necessary, and providing ongoing monitoring and follow-up. Screening and brief interventions do not have to be time-consuming and can be integrated into general medical settings. |
