Thank you.
You mentioned investment into addictions and the need for a comprehensive approach. I absolutely agree. I think harm reduction is one pillar. I hate to think that if my daughter or son were addicted they would die injecting; I would want them to survive that experience and be able to move forward to the next phase, hopefully to detox treatment, and then, hopefully, to a successful life. I keep thinking about that because my constituents lose lives; they are somebody's son or somebody's daughter, and it's very real.
With that in mind and in terms of the other pillars, we now know what the issues are with harm reduction and the need to move forward. With the other pillars, I get the point about the need for additional treatment dollars. I think you mentioned, Dr. Wood, that we have $40 billion that would otherwise be spent because of addictions. If we were to invest that money into addiction prevention, treatment, and harm reduction services, what would that look like? In your dream world, what would that look like? What kind of investment do we actually need for a comprehensive approach across this country to deal with this issue in a comprehensive way?
