“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. The series begins with an exploration of how and why the methadone treatment system in the U.S. was established and a description of the service and policy landscape.”
