Please join The Institute for Addiction Science, UCLA’s Center for Behavioral and Addiction Medicine (CBAM), and the directors — Marilena Marchetti and Helen Redmond — for this special screening of Swallow THIS: A Documentary About Methadone and COVID-19

This 30-minute documentary reveals what happened in methadone clinics during the pandemic. Federal agencies lifted restrictions on take-home doses, making every person eligible for 14 or 28 days of medication. Many patients experienced a liberation they never knew was possible. 

There will also be a Q&A discussion with the directors and expert panelists immediately following the film screening. Doors open at 4:30, all are welcome to attend.
