and Michael Stein say making opioid use disorder medication more accessible
as a behind-the-counter drug could save lives- and give a nod to Canada for

treat opioid use disorder. Medications to treat this disease should be the
first-line treatment, as we know that it is extremely difficult to quit
[using opioids] on one’s own." Learn more
