History repeating

~ Jason Schwartz

I recently posted on the Trump administration’s actions and plans related to drug policy.

Here’s a little historical context from Institute of Medicine (US) Committee for the Substance Abuse Coverage Study, Gerstein, D. R., & Harwood, H. J. (Eds.). (1990). Treating Drug Problems: Volume 1. National Academies Press (US).

I have been an addiction professional and social worker since 1994. I started blogging in 2005 as the Clinical Director at Dawn Farm. I currently serve as the Director of Social Work and Spiritual Care for a healthcare system. I've also served as the Director of Behavioral Health at another hospital. I'm also a lecturer at Eastern Michigan University’s School of Social Work. Views expressed here are my own. Keep in mind that the field, the contexts in which the field operates, and my views have changed over time.

One thought on “History repeating”

  1. Dark times ahead. Trying to incarcerate our way out of SUD’s has never worked in the past.
