New Committee to Help Guide HEAL Initiative Efforts to Address Pain and Addiction

NIH ∙ 03/05/2019 ∙ HEAL

A major priority of the NIH HEAL (Helping to End Addiction Long-term) Initiative for addressing the opioid crisis is to expand the number of treatment options available to the more than 50 million American adults affected by chronic pain and the 2 million suffering from addiction. This includes efforts to develop new, non-addictive medications and medical technologies that reduce the need for opioids.
