Coalition to Stop Opioid Overdose Honors Pallone for work on Opioid Addiction

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 21, 2016


Washington, D.C. – Last night, Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06), was presented an award from the Coalition to Stop Opioid Overdose for his “tireless work to stop the opioid misuse, addiction and overdose epidemic.” He is one of 8 members being honored for their work on opioid addiction. As the Ranking Member on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Congressman Pallone led Democratic efforts to pass the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) through the House of Representatives this summer.

"We want to recognize the considerable effort undertaken by Congress, and these members in particular, to address the opioid misuse and overdose epidemic," said R. Corey Waller, MD, DFASAM, Chair of the American Society of Addiction Medicine's Legislative Advocacy Committee. "As a Coalition, we remain committed to carrying this work forward to help communities in desperate need of a solution to this public health crisis.”

The Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) incorporates proven public health approaches to fight against the heroin and prescription drug abuse crisis. The law improves the tools available to prescribers to prevent opioid abuse and the development of opioid use disorder. It also expands access to lifesaving naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal drug, to respond to those in an acute opioid crisis and expands access to evidence-based treatments that help individuals with opioid use disorders enter recovery.

Congressman Pallone has also been an outspoken advocate for additional funding to combat the opioid crisis. He has introduced legislation that would commit $500 million annually to help individuals at all stages of crisis, specifically those suffering from prescription opioid and heroin dependence.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by an organization that is an important partner in our effort to address the opioid epidemic,” said Pallone. “In New Jersey, more than 184,000 individuals have been admitted to substance abuse treatment facilities for heroin or opioid abuse since 2010 and more than 5,000 have died from heroin-related deaths since 2004. We need to continue to show a sense of urgency on this issue and do everything possible to help and treat those who are suffering.”
The Coalition to Stop Opioid Overdose is an organization of more than 40 local, regional and national groups that are committed to advancing meaningful legislative and regulatory policies in response to the opioid epidemic. The Coalition seeks to address the U.S. opioid epidemic by engaging policy makers, public health leaders, chronic pain and addiction specialists, individuals in and seeking recovery and family members, so that legislation and policies get the support and funding needed.

Letter: RIP Volunteer Alan Ryan

The expressed opinions or views of this letter does not necessarily represent the opinion of the MiddletownMike blog:

Dear Editor,

The State of New Jersey should declare a new holiday in memory of Volunteer Alan Ryan, a Real Irish Republican Army (RIRA) Leader in North Dublin, Ireland who was murdered by heroin dealers in 2012.

Vol. Ryan was murdered by heroin dealers, in retaliation for his Real IRA unit's aggressive actions to rid North Dublin of heroin dealing, frequently raiding and executing heroin dealers.

Vol. Ryan was buried with full Irish Republican military honors and 2,000 attended his funeral. Today, throughout Ireland, from Dublin to Derry, Volunteer Ryan is remembered as a working-class hero who gave his life for a United Ireland and the health of it's youth.

As New Jersey fights it's own heroin problem, our communities can look at the memory of Volunteer Alan Ryan, who despite only living 31 years himself, saved countless lives of young people from the poison of heroin addiction by attacking suppliers.

Volunteer Ryan always made it clear that the heroin addicts were victims, it is the pushers are who must be targeted. RIP Vol. Ryan. Tiocfaidh ár lá.

President Obama's Weekly Address 9/26/15: Dispose of Your Expired and Unwanted Prescription Drugs

In this week's address, on “National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day,” the President spoke about the importance of preventing and treating substance use disorders. Overdoses from prescription pain medications kill thousands of Americans every year, and more often than not, those drugs come from the family medicine cabinet. In addition, many heroin users started out by misusing prescription drugs. That’s why it’s important to take advantage of the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day and safely, conveniently, and responsibly dispose of expired and unwanted prescription drugs at collection sites throughout your community—no questions asked. Drug disposal programs are part of the President’s 2011 Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Plan, which also included increasing education for prescribers, expanding Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs, and pursuing Smart on Crime enforcement. In his address, the President called on us all to continue to work to reduce substance use disorders through evidence-based treatment, prevention, and recovery.

Letter: Prosecutor Should Overlook Summer Shore Recreational Drug Use To Combat Heroin Distribution

The expressed opinions or views of this letter does not necessarily represent the opinion of the MiddletownMike blog:

Dear Editor,

As we approach another summer season on the Jersey Shore, many residents and visitors are going to be bringing commonly enjoyed substances such as cannabis, cocaine and MDMA with them to enhance those great summer nights.

But our current drug laws and police state mentality make tourism difficult and punish both consumers and local residents who supply these social tonics to other residents and tourists, supporting the local economy.

New Jerseyans should have a right to smoke a joint, pop a molly or do a line when they go down the shore. None of these activities are any worse than alcohol consumption, and our draconian drug laws disproportionately impact the future career opportunities of youth.

To encourage tourism in Seaside Heights, Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato should suspend enforcement of laws against cannabis and club drug possession county-wide, while reallocating all drug enforcement resources to combat heroin distribution.

Letter: Herion Epidemic Calls For Test Program

The expressed opinions or views of this letter does not necessarily represent the opinion of the MiddletownMike blog:


Dear Editor,

New Jersey is facing a heroin epidemic and lacks enough treatment facilities and services to assist addicts seeking to get clean. Yet we still criminalize addicts, who have a medically diagnosable dependency on heroin. It is morally wrong to criminalize people suffering from the disease of addiction.

New Jersey should begin a test program of distributing free heroin to addicts through a research program that could be organized through Rutgers University. Safe injection clinics should be opened in high-use municipalities such as Toms River, Ocean Township and Middletown. Heroin maintenance programs prevent crime, reduce overdose and help bring addicts into treatment services.

Clean needles should be made available free at every high school, college and hospital in the state to prevent the spread of Hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS.
