Christian Schutz, a UBC psychiatrist, spoke to the Canadian Press about substance dependency as the fentanyl crisis in B.C. claims more lives every day.
Schutz said opioids like fentanyl induce powerful chemical changes in the body, causing varied effects during withdrawal.
The story appeared on MSN, Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, CBC, Global, Vancouver Sun, and Metro News.
Mark Tyndall, executive medical director of the B.C. Centre for Disease Control and a UBC professor, also spoke to the Canadian Press about the challenges for frontline workers dealing with people repeatedly overdosing.
