• Because of the war on drugs, pain patients are treated with skepticism and pain doctors live in fear of being prosecuted for overprescribing. The end result is that addicts still get their opioids without much trouble, while genuine patients often can't find treatment. Those who do must typically be tracked in a database and must schedule frequent, expensive doctor visits for surveillance like urine testing.

• Existe un fármaco seguro y no tóxico llamado naloxona que puede revertir instantáneamente la sobredosis de opiáceos y evitar la mayoría de estas muertes. Pero la guerra contra las drogas interfiere en la salvación de las víctimas de sobredosis de dos maneras: en primer lugar, como los testigos de sobredosis temen ser procesados, a menudo no piden ayuda hasta que es demasiado tarde. En segundo lugar, debido a que la guerra contra las drogas apoya la creencia de que hacer que la naloxona esté disponible sin receta o con las recetas de opiáceos fomentaría el consumo de drogas, el antídoto sólo está disponible a través de programas de reducción de daños como los intercambios de agujas o en algunos programas estatales dirigidos a los consumidores de drogas.

• Opioid replacement therapy is the standard evidence-based model to treat people with acute opioid addiction, and that is unassailable according to every research study that's been done. If that is the evidence-based model, then why can't we meet the large-scale need that's out there? We can't because one, there aren't enough doctors who can prescribe [drugs like methadone], and two, there are these artificial limits [by insurers] on who doctors can prescribe to.
