In conversation with AEI’s Sally Satel, Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) discusses the ongoing nationwide efforts to curb opioid misuse and addiction, and how recent legislation provides crucial resources to the communities that need it most.

Steve Williams, the mayor of Huntington, West Virginia, Joe Parks from the National Council for Behavioral Health and AEI’s Alex Brill also join our panel to discuss major challenges to recovery, focusing in particular on how recent federal efforts are interacting with existing state and local initiatives to curb opioid misuse and promote stronger, healthier communities.
