Trump's Policies and the Opioid Crisis

President Trump's focus on punishing drug dealers might unintentionally worsen the opioid crisis by reducing treatment access.

Significant budget cuts to addiction treatment programs risk leaving millions without essential support and resources for recovery.

Experts argue that a balanced approach is necessary, combining law enforcement with robust public health initiatives.

This controversial strategy could have devastating consequences, potentially increasing overdose rates and hindering progress against the crisis.
