Patient Journey

Stephen Kavalkovich considers the moment when his doctor prescribed
Suboxone as a major turning point in his struggle with opioid
addiction.
"It helped to address the craving and the chemical dependency.
And it helped me to finally start addressing those underlying
emotional issues and trauma that I had never dealt with."
However, not everyone is as lucky as Stephen. Legal and regulatory
restrictions, stigma and other barriers make it difficult for many
patients to access FDA-approved medications to treat opioid use
disorder.

People and families struggling with substance use and addiction
encounter a variety of systemic challenges throughout their journey,
which is why we created a new section of our website called
"Help Us Change the Story of Addiction." The site features
personal stories like Stephen's that bring these structural
barriers to life. Each story highlighted will offer visitors an
opportunity to advocate for specific policy change by signing an
action alert or by sharing similar stories from their own journey.
