I was at #amersa a couple weeks ago, and learned that more cocaine was produced last year than at any point in history

Shout out to Seth Jacobson who's been photographing the #AMERSA conference since 2019 - not only is he a talented photographer but a great human. Check out this shot from last week in #Chicago and his site: www.sethphotos.com if you're looking for amazing art.

Had a great time at #AMERSA 2024 in Chicago; conference continuing to push forward the conversation to improve addiction care. @amersa.org did a great job putting together a great conference! Looking forward to Portland 2025.

Honored to have been included with my BHCHP besties at #AMERSA this week. So many amazing presenters and thinkers. Happy to bring #harmreduction to these conversations

Have def gotten emotional at #AMERSA a couple times. I still carry some shame and guilt due to my past struggles with addiction. Seeing the number of people that care so much about people with addiction in such a nonjudgmental way is incredible.

#AMERSA needs to have 2 conferences a year. It’s so nice being around my people who truly understand #harmreduction and #addictionmed

Great conversation today at #AMERSA 2024 about power, trust, and humanization in addiction care. #harmreduction

Love that #AMERSA has Peers present at the conference. They are much needed voices for us to learn from!

Direct Brixadi inductions with COWS of 4+!? Time since last fentanyl use <24 hours!? Baffling but definitely something I’m going to try! #AMERSA #medsky #addictionmed

Just registered at #AMERSA for the first time! So excited for all the learning. Starting with Kailin See on OPCs #addictionmed

Excited to be at #AMERSA in Chicago while also making the big switch to over here.

Headed to #AMERSA in Chicago! It’s my first time and I’m super excited! Hope to see some of you there! #medsky

Um ok well probably this needs to be adjusted but #AMERSA is starting tomorrow so I thought we needed an #addictionmed feed?For now: use the hashtag, #addictionmedicine or #addictionmed.

(Many thanks to @adrugresearcher.bsky.social for the technical coaching 🙂)

Ok so I’ve decided I may make it through #AMERSA if I take 3 super steamy shower per day and always sit near the back so I can sneak out once my paroxysmal coughing starts? #sorry if I interrupt any of your talks yall my lungs refuse to maintain a positive attitude

Ok can we convince #AMERSA to set up an account on here before Thursday? Maybe it can help a bunch of us switch over and find one another 🙂

(I’ve been fighting w @MassHealth about this & was surprised at #AMERSA by how many people I discussed this w said : “oh I/we don’t do that” — why should patient-centered practice, harm reduction, appropriate humility about what we understand about opioid receptor stop here?)

Anyone going to #AMERSA conference this week in DC? Looking forward to communing with other clinicians, educators and researchers on Addiction Medicine!

#addictionmed twitter ! at #ASAM there was a poster & some side discussions about starting #Sublocade or XR-bupe without having started SL bupe first. Experiences with this with IV fentanyl users?

Also this would be a cool #AMERSA workshop 🙂

#AMERSA 2021 starts today! Counting down the minutes!!!
