By coming together as we do in emergencies, we can work across sectors to start thinking out of the box to find real solutions to this complex problem.<\/p>\n<p>As your health officer, I am required by state law to take actions needed to maintain the health of Snohomish County. That includes controlling and preventing the spread of any dangerous disease. And that is what the opioid misuse and abuse is \u2014 a life-threatening disease.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve stated before that the scope of the opioid epidemic is likely far greater than any one of us can appreciate. That is why data is critical to the goals and objectives laid out by our multi-agency response group. It allows us to determine the true size of the problem, specifically the number of people afflicted with this disease, so we can ensure the proper location and amount of services are available to meet the need. Data will also help us to target our interventions across agencies, as well as hone the information needed to educate and prevent further addiction.<\/p>\n<p>Just as a physician would do with any other disease, we need to fully assess the patient and his or her particular condition. A diagnosis should be followed with a customized treatment plan that can be targeted to achieve the best possible outcomes. This includes gathering information about personal and environmental factors to identify any barriers to receiving treatment. Finally, there are check-ups and testing done to confirm the treatment plan is working.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/opinion\/commentary-fighting-the-opioid-epidemic-by-understanding-it\/\">[More&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comentario del COLUMNISTA: Combatir la epidemia de opi\u00e1ceos entendi\u00e9ndola Tal como lo har\u00eda un m\u00e9dico, debemos evaluar completamente al paciente y su condici\u00f3n particular.
