Aug 7, 20171:15Now PlayingThis week I traveled to Beacon of Hope Recovery Center in St. Mary’s County to talk with health care professionals, law enforcement, and those in recovery about how important it is to treat addiction like a health issue, not a criminal justice issue. Sadly, while we’re working to do whatever necessary to combat a horrific opioid epidemic in Maryland and across the country, Senate Republicans’ “WealthCare” proposal will drastically cut Medicaid, and ultimately take away critical funding that these types of recovery centers rely on to give their patients the treatment they need. Now is the time to do what is necessary to ensure facilities like this one have the funding they need to help folks get their lives back on track to become full, productive members of society.
