What about 12-step programs or a residential facility? How long should they stay in it? Philip Maes has been that person for countless individuals in the Opioid Crisis. He is a Certified Addictions Registered Nurse and a care coordinator for Medication Assisted Treatment at the University of Illinois’ Mile Square Health Center in Chicago. In this installment, Maes discusses what he has learned, how he tries to help and how family and friends can play a pivotal role in supporting recovery.…
Doctors are questioning long-held beliefs on how to treat substance abuse and coming up with new answers -- but those living in the Opioid Crisis may be in the dark.

Dr. Adelstein is an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences with Northwestern Medicine.

She knows the treatment system many are facing – its limits and its potential. Dr. Gastala helped start a program in a Midwest rural town to address a burgeoning opioid problem there, and recently moved to help expand addiction treatment services at Mile Square Health Centers at the University of Illinois Health in Chicago.…
