Abstract
This Briefing will explore the legal and policy questions around substance use disorder (SUD) exceptionalism. Panelists discuss how different legal rules apply to access to medications for opioid use disorder and other services compared to those provided to the majority with access to care; and, how we can construct social support, services, and safe housing for a population that has strong overlaps with other extremely vulnerable cohorts such as the homeless or newly released prisoners.
Description
