Investigation Reveals PHA Healthcare's Oversight Failures in Baltimore Addiction Programs Amid High Overdose Risk for Black Men Born 1951-1970
Dec 20, 2024, 02:51 PM
An investigation by the Baltimore Banner and the New York Times has revealed troubling issues surrounding addiction treatment programs in Baltimore, particularly focusing on a private vendor, PHA Healthcare. The investigation highlights the lax oversight of these programs, which have been criticized for trading free housing for treatment funds while offering inadequate support to patients. Reports indicate that Black men born between 1951 and 1970 are at the highest risk of overdose deaths, a trend observed in other major cities as well. The investigation calls for improved vetting and oversight as Baltimore prepares to allocate hundreds of millions in drug company settlements. The findings underscore the systemic failures within the addiction treatment system, raising questions about the effectiveness of harm reduction strategies and the role of public health departments in addressing these crises.
