From The Tennessean, a comprehensive look at the state's alarming rise in overdose deaths. Dr. Nasser Hajaig, western division medical director for CleanSlate Centers, says that even though the epidemic is getting national attention, a combination of insufficient access and the stigma of addiction is preventing many from receiving treatment.
"We need to send information out that this is not something they should be ashamed of and it is a disease we can treat," Hajaig said.
