The Opioid Epidemic - A Generation in Crisis by Oliver Morgan in Global Journal of Addiction & Rehabilitation Medicine - Juniper Publishers
On March 29, 2017 President Donald Trump tapped Governor Chris Christie
of New Jersey to lead a commission fighting the opioid addiction crisis.
Not a bad choice, as political appointments go. Christie’s heartfelt
words about addiction went viral in 2015 during the presidential
campaign and won him praise. In his last year as governor, Christie has
pursued enlightened policies to help stem the tide of opioid and other
drug addiction in New Jersey. He has signed legislation limiting
first-time narcotic prescriptions to five days’ worth of opioids, and
requiring health insurers to cover at least a minimum of six months of
substance abuse treatment.
