Almost everyone on Cape Cod knows someone who has been harmed by the opiate crisis. Thankfully, thanks to increased awareness and the heroic work of our first responders, overdose deaths have declined in recent years. But there’s still a lot more work to treat and prevent drug addiction. As State Representative, Kip will increase funding for addiction treatment so nobody is denied their chance at sobriety because a rehab placement isn’t available. Additionally, Kip supports stricter oversight of treatment programs so resources aren’t wasted on ineffective rehabilitation centers.
