#FOREfdnGrantee @DopefiendPhD "hadn’t realized how limiting the [daily] visits to the [#methadone] clinic were until she stopped having to make them. 'It was life-changing [...] I had all that time back in my life. I felt like a normal person.'" statnews.com/2022/12/22/new-…

Under new rules, methadone clinics can offer more take-home doses. Will they?

On your journey to better mental health, listen to your mind and body! Try to recognize the feelings that certain actions/events make you feel. If you find they worsen your anxiety, consider removing the harmful activity from your life. #MentalHealthAwareness

Transparency doesn't mean sharing every detail. Transparency means providing the context for the decisions we make.
