#ICYMI: the National Survey on Drug Use and Health 2023 results have been released. Check out the full report and the new infographic overview here: samhsa.gov/data/report/2023-… #NSDUH
Addiction shouldn’t be a death sentence. We have the tools to help people. #harmreductionsaveslives
Harm reduction doesn't eliminate harm, it reduces it.
Here is a simple understanding
Designated drivers are making sure people arrive home safely after a night out of partying with alcohol /drugs is HARM REDUCTION‼️
Harm reduction doesn't encourage drug use, it simply understands that people are going to do them whether we like it or not and it's important to reduce those harms just like we would for anything else! #Harmreduction #wedorecover #Allthetools
Addiction is a complicated medical diagnosis to treat. While there's more to learn about MAT, it still remains one of the most effective, evidence based treatment options and should be made available to those who could benefit from it.

As we say goodbye to the '24 legislative session we're grateful that HF 5247 will provide Minnesotans with access to services during/after incarceration and overall fewer barriers to receiving life saving services. Time to celebrate the wins and prepare for next year! Stay tuned.
CORI is always hopeful and anxious to see the impact that additional funding for MN can have. #opioidepidemic #barrierfreeservice
