I have a patient who told me, as a young teenager, he started using because literally everyone in his life who was important to him was using. I had one patient tell me that he began using on the bus to high school football games because other players were using. My name is Matthew Hahn. I'm a family physician. I have a small private practice in the little town of Hancock, Maryland. So I think the most important thing for medical providers to be aware of when treating opioid use disorder is that we have now some medications that are extremely effective and easy to start and to use. Our experience in this practice has been very successful. It is usually relatively simple to get patients started and we can do it from our office just like treating blood pressure and treating depression and treating diabetes. There is a huge need and we need to meet that need. I think we need to get past the stigma of treating this condition and get involved. Most of our patients do not use street drugs again and they can be productive. They work, they can be good family members and it's really been a great experience.
