RI Serves as an Inspiring Example for Connecticut on the Opiate Epidemic

Unlike Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Connecticut hasn't yet drawn up a focused state plan to respond to opiate overdoses. But that's about to change. In a welcome move, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has asked Dr. David Fiellin and a team of doctors who are addiction specialists from Yale School of Medicine to create, in 90 days, a strategy to reduce opioid addiction and overdoses here over the next three years. The governor has directed the team to use Rhode Island's strategic plan as a model for Connecticut.
