I agree, Thomas. Karen’s story is very important. She was working hard to help people and still had never been taught about naltrexone. Thankfully, that kind of silence is less common today. The awareness gap is closing because of people like Karen and other contributors to this series, like Claudia, both Katies, Steve, and many others. Now the challenge is ensuring that awareness translates into real treatment options for patients.
Thank you Dr. V. Your entries, including Karen's contribution, paint the picture of a smoldering emergence of what hopefully will become a large movement!
Thank you, Regina. I love your phrase “smoldering emergence.” That feels exactly right. This has not been a sudden change, but a slow accumulation of patients, families, clinicians, and advocates pushing the treatment system forward. The awareness gap is finally closing. Now we need to make sure awareness turns into real treatment options for the people who need them.
Excellent testimonial. Thank you for sharing.
