INSTITUTE AGENDA
Plenary sessionCREATING A SYSTEM OF CARE IN ADDICTION TREATMENT - There are two systems of care in addiction treatment; one is designed for those who have financial resources and the other is for everyone else. Doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, and other professionals are placed in a system of care designed for a path to long-term, sustainable, recovery. Patients with poor social determinants of health (SDOH) factors are given access to a limited system of care that does not provide for sustainable recovery.
DR. STEPHEN LOYD is an internal medicine and addiction medicine physician who serves as the current Chief Medical Officer of Cedar Recovery; the Chairman of the Tennessee Opioid Abatement Council; the President of the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners; and the drug czar for the Office of Drug Control Policy for the state of West Virginia.
Dr. Loyd’s personal journey through addiction and recovery was featured on the eight-part Hulu series “Dopesick.” He was the inspiration behind the character Dr. Samuel Finnix, portrayed by actor Michael Keaton, Dr. Loyd has dedicated his life and his practice in medicine to help those suffering from substance use disorders by advocating for a system of care that provides for the same treatment he received.
