From Dr. David Frank:

USU's own Dr. David Frank recently published a crucial article arguing that COVID-19 gives us a valuable opportunity to reform methadone maintenance treatment by shifting the dialogue from abstinence to harm reduction. Frank, D. (2020). A chance to do it better: Methadone maintenance treatment in the age of Covid-19. Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment, 123, 108246. Congratulations Dr. Frank!
