Billy Penn<\/a>    January 22, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

helley Bastos\u2019 problems with opioids started early, after surgeries as a young woman hooked her on Percocet. But after years of battling drug use, she finally found a reputable clinic that helped her stabilize with the proper dose of methadone. For Bastos, it was a life-saver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was available,\u201d Bastos, 37, said about medication-assisted treatment. \u201cWhen I was ready, I was able to use those resources to gain the coping skills to get the support I needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some form is currently offered at most city programs \u2014 but the options have been insufficient to combat the mounting opioid crisis, which has left Philly with one of the worst overdose epidemics in the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making it widely available is now a priority, officials say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
