In Sacramento, discussions are underway regarding the AB 2115 and AB 2479 bills, aimed at improving access to methadone treatment for opioid dependency and funding for Recovery Housing amidst the worst drug crisis in history. San Francisco officials, including Dr. Jeff Hom from SF_DPH and Assemblymember Matt Haney, are advocating for these changes as thousands of Californians die every year from opioid-related issues. The proposed legislation seeks to expand clinic capabilities to dispense methadone and simplify the process for patients to receive take-home doses.

Today @SF_DPH's Dr. Jeff Hom spoke in Sacramento supporting AB 2115 by @MattHaneySF to make methadone medication that treats opioid dependency more accessible. It’s critical that we safely remove regulatory barriers to lifesaving medications and get people on a path of recovery. https://t.co/qRxuKcMJYs
It is infuriating and mind-boggling that during the worst drug crisis in history, as thousands of Californians die every year, that we would keep one of the most effective treatments for addiction locked away where people can’t access it. We are going to change that. AB 2115… https://t.co/ox97V91WNQ
