“NASTAD will host a webinar series in partnership with the National Coalition to Liberate Methadone (NCLM). Methadone is an essential tool for saving lives during an overdose crisis and reducing the risk of HIV and hepatitis C transmission among people who inject drugs. NCLM advocates for a more accessible and equitable methadone system that prioritizes patient health, promotes dignity, and is grounded in evidence. This webinar will cover methadone-related stigma, and the impact of current events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and delve into patient and provider perspectives.”
