National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa Writes About Prescription Safety Measures Eliminated Due To COVID-19.  

Dr. John P. Rosa, national opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker acknowledges the necessity for new ways of getting opioids to patients during the COVID crisis, however, he also acknowledges that the new method for patients to get opioids has only led to more misuse and deaths.

 

ROCKVILLE, MD. July 10, 2020: Owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics and opioid crises expert, Dr. John Rosa, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “Increased Opioid Misuse Due To Abandoned Safety Measures.” Dr. Rosa talks about new protective procedures put in place for prescribing opioids that he suggests is doing more harm than good.

 

As Dr. Rosa points out, “There are millions of people that are dependent on opioid medications and in most areas of the country there are rules for doctors to follow that help their patients get the medications they need for their own personal use.” He continues, “In addition, these rules were instituted in order to make sure the patients receiving the drugs are not selling them instead of using them for their own pain control needs.”

 

According to Dr. Rosa, “Safety Rule number one is: If it’s the first time a doctor is prescribing a narcotic to a patient, it must be during a face-to-face encounter. Rule number two is: there must be follow-up visits for urine testing to make sure the patients are taking the meds and not diverting them.” He emphasizes, “This also shows the doctor if there are other substances that would raise an alarm.”

 

“These two safety measures were helpful in preventing the rampant misuse of opioids,” says Dr. Rosa. He follows up with, “However, the DEA declared that during the COVID emergency doctors can prescribe controlled substances by telemedicine for a new patient and without continued tracking of existing patients by urine tests.”

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa Reveals Recent Opioid-Related Death Statistics During The Pandemic.  

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker sums up his blog with the notion that the country has been hit with three epidemics simultaneously: COVID-19, the opioid epidemic, and the systemic epidemic of racism, inequality and injustice.

ROCKVILLE, MD. June 29, 2020: Owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics and opioid crises expert, Dr. John Rosa, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “Opioid Deaths Increasing Across The Country As Pandemic Continues.” Dr. Rosa suggest that the number of people using opioids may not be increasing, but opioid-related deaths are.

Dr. Rosa states, “It’s been 3 months since the U.S. went into shelter-in-place mode due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.” He adds, “My immediate concern was how those in recovery from opioid use would fare without being able to have face-to-face substance-abuse treatment. And, now, the numbers are beginning to surface.”

“According to a report from the American Medical Association,” says Dr. Rosa, “they are greatly concerned “by an increasing number of reports from national, state and local media suggesting increases in opioid-related mortality – particularly from illicitly manufactured fentanyl and fentanyl analogs. At least 30 states have reported increases in opioid-related mortality…” https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/2020-06/issue-brief-increases-in-opioid-related-overdose.pdf

Dr. Rosa writes, “Another recent article out of Martinsburg, WV, reports that overdose deaths in the tri-state area are outpacing COVID-19 related deaths. In Erie County New York, health authorities report that there has not been an increase in opioid use locally since the pandemic, but because of social isolation, more people are using alone, making it less likely someone is around to help them in the event they overdose. And, Jacksonville, Florida has seen a 20% increase in overdose calls from February to March.”

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa Recognizes That While Some People Will Be Saved From Relapse By Digital Meetings, Many Won’t Be.  

By Dr. John Rosa

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker talks about the detrimental effect that unstructured time and general feelings of anxiety that everyone is experiencing now is having on the hundreds of thousands of people who are struggling to recover from substance abuse disorder. 

ROCKVILLE, MD. June 09, 2020: Owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics and opioid crises expert, Dr. John Rosa, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “Not Everyone Will Be Able To Zoom Through The Pandemic Without Relapsing,” in which Dr. Rosa acknowledges that digital meetings are not the same as in-person.

Dr. John P. RosaDr. Rosa points out that, “Some people with substance abuse challenges may be able to use the pandemic as motivation to steer clear of drugs and stay clean.” He adds, “Some may be inspired by attending Zoom meetings while others simply will not be able to endure the overabundance of unstructured time, not being able to attend recovery meetings in person and the feelings of anxiety caused by COVID19.”

“The Appalachian region,” Dr. Rosa explains, “a 205,000-square-mile-region encompassing the Appalachian Mountains, stretching from southern New York state to northern Mississippi is known for an inordinately large number of opioid overdoses and deaths.” He states, “Since the pandemic began, according to a cnn.com article, “substance abuse experts, doctors and state officials have seen a rise in relapses.” https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/14/health/opioids-addiction-appalachia-coronavirus-trnd/index.html

According to Dr. Rosa, “People with substance abuse disorders are not only at risk of relapsing, their health is compromised due to damage that’s been caused by opioid abuse, and so are also at heightened risk of dying from the virus. Drug use weakens the immune system and makes users more prone to infections and infectious diseases.”

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa Writes About The Loneliness Of Addiction And The Importance Of Helping Addicts Throughout The Pandemic.

opioid crisis

 Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker reminds readers that addiction is a disease of loneliness and talks about the importance of helping addicts who may not be able to get treatment during the pandemic. He also cites a famous study that supports addiction as a disease fueled by loneliness.

ROCKVILLE, MD. April 29, 2020: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled, “The Loneliness Of Addiction Magnified During COVID19 Pandemic.” Dr. Rosa talks about why liquor stores are considered essential businesses and how drug addicts don’t have the same kind of access for help with their addiction.

Dr. Rosa states, “As the COVID19 pandemic continues with no ending point in sight, getting help for drug addiction is more important than ever.” He continues, “Unfortunately help for addicts is not readily available with the closure of clinics for medication assisted treatments and well as alternatives for chronic pain management. And social distancing requirements make it even more difficult on addicts.”

According to Dr. Rosa, “This lack of help and human interaction for people in recovery from drug addiction is creating the perfect environment for relapse.” He goes on to say, “At least those who suffer from Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) still have access to alcohol since liquor stores have been deemed essential businesses in most states. In addition there is very limited medical treatment for AUD and keeping people out of hospitals is important.  This is one important reason why liquor stores have been deemed essential. There are more than 15 million people in the U.S. who have AUD and it’s imperative they have access to their substance of choice.”

“Without an equivalent method of help for drug addiction,” Dr. Rosa writes, “the rate of relapse and overdoses will put an even greater demand on hospitals that are already overburdened with COVID19 patients. “

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa Writes About How Isolation Can Be Life-Saving And Deadly At The Same Time

opioid crisis

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker writes about how isolation due to the COVID19 Pandemic is derailing efforts to help the people addicted to opioids who are currently in recovery and will no longer be able to get the help they need. For these people isolation could be a death sentence.

ROCKVILLE, MD. April 20, 2020: Owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics and opioid crises expert, Dr. John Rosa, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “The COVID-19 Pandemic Is Making The Opioid Addiction Epidemic Worse.” Dr. Rosa makes a plea for finding a way to help the millions of people addicted to opioids during this challenging time.

Dr. Rosa writes, “When a pandemic that requires people to self-isolate crashes headlong into an ongoing epidemic that is fueled by loneliness and isolation, things are going to get increasingly harmful.” He adds, “And that is exactly what is happening as the COVID-19 pandemic crosses paths with the opioid epidemic.”

“Isolation and loneliness have an overwhelming effect on people who are addicted to drugs and other substances,” says Dr. Rosa. He continues, “It has been shown that many people who feel more socially isolated are the ones who are more susceptible to mental health and substance abuse issues. And, it has been noted that addiction to drugs and alcohol may not just be an effect of isolation but also one of the causes of it.” As Dr. Rosa points out, “Anxiety and isolation will often be the cause of relapse for many who suffer, and it may be a calling to those who have never used to start now.”

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa Talks About A Recent Book That Brilliantly Exposes Medical Shortcomings Regarding Opioids

opioid crisis

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker, discusses the lack of education within the medical field regarding how to ween patients off of opioids despite the fact that they are so easily and frequently prescribed.

ROCKVILLE, MD. November 7, 2019: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “A Medical System That Doesn’t Know How To Put An End To The Pain They Cause,” in which Dr. Rosa tells readers about an important book.

Dr. Rosa poses a big question. He asks, “How do we change an entire medical system?” He continues, “That’s the question that occurs to me when thinking about how our medical schools teach prospective doctors how to prescribe pills but don’t teach them how to help patients get off the pills they are prescribed.”

According to Dr. Rosa, “Our medical institutions are responsible for creating more intense pain than the pain that is caused as a result of physical injury.” He further elaborates, “Doctors easily prescribe addictive opioids. But they have absolutely no idea how to help ween their patients off of the drugs when they are no longer needed for pain control.” He emphasizes, “Thus begins the horrendously painful cycle of addiction.”

Dr. Rosa states, “This is so perfectly illustrated in a recent book I heard about entitled In Pain, by bioethicist Travis Reider, who was prescribed opioids after a motorcycle accident. When he went to his doctor to ask how to get off the opioids, the doctor was stumped. He didn’t have a clue.”

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa Reprints A Letter To Parents From The Director Of The National Institute On Drug Abuse

addiction

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker, writes about the need to continuously talk to children about the opioid epidemic and to educate them about the dangers in order to prevent more children from becoming another death statistic.

ROCKVILLE, MD. September 30, 2019: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled, “A Plea To Parents To Educate Children About Opioids,” in which Dr. Rosa talks about the overwhelming pressures children face today and the temptation to “numb out.”

Dr. Rosa states, “When I was a teenager, my parents warned me about the dangers of drinking alcohol before I was 21.” He continues, “They warned me about using marijuana and other drugs. The greatest concern of parents back then was that their kid would become an alcoholic or, through the use of marijuana, would eventually become a heroin addict. Heroin was the deadliest drug and has been until the late 1990’s with the introduction of Oxycontin.”

According to Dr. Rosa, “I constantly appeal to parents to safeguard their children by talking to them about the opioid epidemic and educating them as thoroughly as possible.” He points out that, “Children today are faced with greater stresses than at any other time in history. Social pressures, peer pressure, educational expectations, sexual identity crises and more bombard today’s children. The confusion can be overwhelming if not addressed and the temptation to numb out can be powerful.”

“The proliferation of illegally made drugs – laced with deadly fentanyl – that look like the real deal are flooding the streets,” says Dr. Rosa. He adds, “Children of every age are taking these drugs and overdosing on a daily basis. I am making every effort I can to help parents help their children resist temptation to experiment with any kind of drug.”

“To that end,” writes Dr. Rosa, “I am posting a letter from the Director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse directed to parents posted on their website. Sometimes,” he says, “one voice is not enough. We have to hear warnings from multiple authorities before we take them to heart. Hopefully, you can prevent your children from becoming one of the 150 people who die every day from opioids.”

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa Calls For A Team Effort To End The Opioid Crisis

opioid crisis

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker, tells readers that both, the doctors who prescribe opioids and the patients who take them, are addicts and both must be educated in ways that will bring an end to this method of relieving pain and open the door to a healthier way.

ROCKVILLE, MD. April 18, 2019: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “It’s Time To Stop Cultivating A Culture Of Chronic Pain Patients,” in which Dr. Rosa calls for the participation of doctors and patients alike.

Dr. Rosa states, “When you have a medical system that is as addicted to taking the easy way out by masking problems that cause pain instead of getting to the bottom of them and healing human pain and suffering, you create a cycle of addiction and a culture of chronic pain.” He emphasizes, “That’s exactly the position we are in as a culture today.”

“Based on our current reimbursement systems,” says Dr. Rosa, “it’s easier for doctors to prescribe a pain pill than it is for them to prescribe a multi-disciplinary system of treatment that will actually get to the source of the pain and eliminate it.” He adds, “And, believe me, I am aware that this system is like a double-edged sword.”

According to Dr. Rosa, “Patients just want to be pain-free. The easiest way to do that instantly,” he says, “is to take opioids.” He elaborates, “But, the problems created by this seemingly instantly gratifying method are deadly and devastating. So, both patients and doctors are going to have to actively participate in ending this vicious cycle.”

March 29, 2019: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crisis expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled, “Decrease Pain, Increase Mobility, Limit Opioid Medications,” in which Dr. Rosa talks about the holistic approach he uses and teaches.

Dr. Rosa writes, “The title of this article is the holistic strategy used with patients who come to my chiropractic centers in pain.” He continues, “My goal is to educate patients, caregivers and anyone else who is interested, how to manage pain without the use of opioid medications.”

“I recently placed myself into a busy Primary Care medical practice,” says Dr. Rosa, “where we have been able to reduce opioid prescriptions by 70% through the integration of Chiropractic, physical therapy and behavioral medicine.” He continues elaborating, “Some of the therapies and behavioral approaches include yoga, Acupuncture, massage, mindfulness and meditation, among others. This highly successful integrative approach clearly illustrates that we, as a society, do not need to be drug dependent to be pain-free.”

As Dr. Rosa points out, “Without question many people live with chronic, oftentimes debilitating pain. As a result of attempting to relieve this pain,” he states, “the pharmaceutical industry has created highly addictive medications. The medications do relieve the physical pain, but more often than not they lead to more severely painful problems such as addiction and death. And, importantly, they inhibit the body’s own healing wisdom.”

Dr. Rosa writes that, “integrative pain management is a process that requires more effort than merely popping a pill. However, long-term, this method allows the natural healing process of the body to work its wonders. The body’s ability to heal itself is nothing short of miraculous, but we have to give it the time it needs.”
