    Which of the following is a key strategy recommended by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to address the opioid epidemic?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Mandating detoxification is not a recommended universal strategy, as treatment must be individualized and often includes medication-assisted therapy rather than forced detox. B. Improving access to evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder includes medications like buprenorphine and methadone, counseling, and behavioral therapies. C. Implementing supervised injection sites is a strategy used in some countries, but it is not a key strategy currently endorsed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. D. Increasing use of over-the-counter pain medications is not a central strategy; while non-opioid alternatives are encouraged, this alone does not address the complexities of the opioid epidemic.
