Editorial: A Promising Idea To Fight Opioids
Every so often, an idea comes along that is so darn good you wonder why no one had thought of it before.
Such is the case with Peconic Care, a proposed addiction treatment facility that promises to deal with the opioid crisis in a way that exists nowhere else in the country. Its 40-acre campus, pitched for part of the Enterprise Park site in Calverton, would combine world-class research with clinical care such that every patient who comes to Peconic Care for rehabilitation will help add knowledge in this vital field of how the brain deals with addiction. By teaming together, researchers and clinicians hope to discover new treatments and better tailor existing treatments to individual addicts. . .
