I'm a paramedic, and I've lost count of the overdose calls we've run this year alone—over 40 just in my district. We carry naloxone now, but that only brings them back for a while; it doesn't fix the underlying addiction. I've seen people cycle through recovery and relapse multiple times, and it's heartbreaking. Is it time to treat addiction primarily as a medical condition, with widespread access to medication-assisted treatment and harm reduction services, rather than a criminal issue or a personal failure?
