Bar association panel says N.Y. needs bolder opioid strategy

A New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) task force would like state officials and legislators to avoid narrowly defined responses and take a much more comprehensive approach to combating the opioid crisis. Some task force members suggest New York has failed to keep pace with demand for services in areas such as workforce development, access to naloxone and initiation of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in non‐traditional settings.
