It's time to 'Trump' opioid addiction in the United States

The bottom line — breaking down barriers to opioid addiction treatment that works will save lives and money. President Trump can stand united with the millions of impacted Americans and make sweeping progress on opioid addiction by leading in these three areas — policy changes, criminal justice and funding.
