San Francisco: A Shift in How Addiction Is Treated? 

Although drug overdose deaths are declining nationwide in the U.S., they continue to rise in communities of color. In response, San Francisco is rethinking its approach with a new ordinance that prioritizes long-term treatment and sobriety. The city, hit hard by the fentanyl crisis, is adopting the “Recovery First” model, joining others like Philadelphia. What does this shift mean for public health? Experts discuss proven strategies to support people with problematic drug use. 

Guest: Laura Guzmán, Executive Director, National Harm Reduction Coalition, Oakland, CA.
