ABSTRACT

We’ve titled this editorial: “What role will social work have played in the opioid epidemic?.” This is meant to give pause, to reflect on the extent to which social work has helped – and at times harmed – those impacted by opioid use and misuse thus far, and to give consideration as to how the profession will aid going forward. We present the articles in this special issue in this spirit. In this special issue, you will find that social workers are making the connections necessary to engage communities and municipalities in ending the opioid crisis.

社会工作将在阿片类药物流行中发挥什么作用？

摘要

我们将这篇社论命名为：“社会工作在阿片类药物流行中扮演什么角色？”。这是为了暂停，反思迄今为止社会工作在多大程度上帮助了（有时是伤害了）受阿片类药物使用和滥用影响的人，并考虑了该行业将如何帮助向前发展。我们本着这种精神呈现本期特刊中的文章。在本期特刊中，您会发现社会工作者正在建立必要的联系，让社区和市政当局参与结束阿片类药物危机。
