One of these is the Rapid Access to Addiction Medicine (RAAM) model that was funded for opioids but also being well utilized for alcohol. Great client care that wraps services across hospital, community and primary care. So far in 2020, no new funding announced to expand them. https://twitter.com/AdeSpafford/status/1330872512113238016

If we treated #mentalhealth & #addiction the way we treated other chronic health conditions, funding would flow first to evidence-based programs where people were dying/at risk of dying from no and/or poor quality care. Need to escalate implementation of Roadmap to Wellness.

If we don't, investments will continue to have an unequitable impact on people's health and chance at life/recovery/wellbeing because we won't know where to invest to save lives. #onpoli
