Opioid Expertise and Addiction Treatment

Addiction treatment is a unique medical specialty, and very different than practices that focus on infectious or short-term disease. Because addiction treatment is distinctive, treatment programs have laboratory needs that are exceptional. To properly serve these critical providers, laboratories must fully understand the nature of addiction and the needs of those who battle the opioid epidemic.
