Leading up to this process, the best evidence that I've been able to locate is that 10% of opioid users are addicted and 30% have what's known as opioid use disorder. There's no question that physical dependence happens very quickly. Withdrawal is unpleasant and difficult. Clearly, we need a large injection of funding for treatment in our country.
Ms. Geller, are there any plans in your department to provide increased funding, so we can open up treatment facilities in this country to help people recover who are addicted to opioids?
