USA. Levin Introduces Bill to Expand Opioid Treatment at Homeless Shelters
City Councilman Stephen Levin(D-...) today introduced legislation to increase access to treatment of opioid addiction for residents of New York’s homeless shelters.
Groups that advocate for harm reduction, providers of homeless services, and activists committed to changing drug policy rallied on the steps of City Hall in favor of the bill, which would allow easier access to buprenophrine, a medication that assists opioid abusers in their recovery.
