I wholeheartedly believe that private sector innovation and creativity are vital to developing solutions to societal problems, and so as soon as I got out of government, I was able to start working toward those private and not-for-profit solutions to the issues of prescription drug abuse and addiction broadly.
Imagine navigating the complex maze of healthcare policies while trying to ensure effective addiction treatment. That's what Michael Barnes, a seasoned healthcare attorney and managing partner at DCBA Law and Policy, tackles in this episode of Recovery Unscripted.

He doesn't just stop at the legal jargon; Barnes also highlights the crucial role of private sector innovation in solving societal problems and discusses how insurance providers can sometimes worsen the overdose epidemic. He sheds light on the need for federal protections to maintain patient privacy and ensure access to necessary care.

Barnes offers a candid look at how state legislatures can influence access to treatment through insurance schemes. His insights provide a thought-provoking perspective on the current state of addiction treatment and the pivotal role of healthcare policy.
