The newly approved weekly formulation at a lower strength provides an alternative for individuals in recovery who could benefit from a weekly injection to help them stay committed to their treatment. *Why this matters*Increasing the number of treatment options for opioid use disorder is one effective way to address the opioid epidemic. Brixadi and other drugs developed to support MAT/MOUD may also help lower the costs of life-saving opioid treatments over time.

The [American Society of Addiction Medicine supports](https://journals.lww.com/journaladdictionmedicine/Fulltext/2020/04001/The_ASAM_National_Practice_Guideline_for_the.1.aspx) the inclusion of buprenorphine as a treatment option for opioid use disorder among younger individuals. *Why this matters*The stigma surrounding opioid use disorders and effective treatment is still influencing how we support those in need.

Clinical psychologist Jenny T. Wang tells her story of reclaiming mental health as a Taiwanese American while offering insights and evidence-based tools for other Asian Americans and immigrants. In this book, she gives readers permission to question, feel, rage, say no, take up space, choose, play, fail, grieve – and finally, to define their own idea of what it means to come home.  ![The Change Companies](https://blog.changecompanies.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Internal/Logos/Social%20Media%20Logo.png?width=150&name=Social%20Media%20Logo.png) #### The Change Companies For over 30 years, The Change Companies has delivered cutting-edge behavior change tools to over 26 million individuals in addiction treatment and justice services.
