medication-assisted treatment is a good approach In my view, medication-assisted treatment is a good approach and should be put into practice. They are helpful approaches because the drugs that are used, for example, methadone and buprenorphine, easily trick the brains of the individuals in question to think they are abusing illicit drugs. Hence, the possibility of them resisting reduces, and they are likely to cooperate to consume them than when they see common medicine, which they already know is meant to reduce their illicit drug dependence. We should be offering people who are opiate dependent such substitution treatment so that it can help them abstain from abusing illicit opioids, which have diverse repercussions on a user’s health. Once the health of an individual is at stake, their life cannot be any better. These treatments are useful because they are used in combination with behavioral therapies and counseling. All these are important as they contribute to making one become a whole individual again in all dimensions; physically and mentally, among others. I think the approach of safe injection sites will reduce…
Basic Health Care Should Be Free for All Americans Bauchner, Howard. “Health Care in the United States: A Right or a Privilege. JAMA Network, vol 317, no. 1, 2017, pp. 29. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2595503 Bauchner argues that the Affordable Health Care Act has done more for Americans and thus needs to be modified to accommodate more people. Also, there are many uncertainties of how health care will evolve in America. Health care should not be free, but legal acts can help in providing affordable health services.

Accessed April 12, 2020. With many Americans in support of a universal health plan, some critics argue that it would increase taxes and give the government too much power and control over health care.

Case 1: Virtuous Behavior Virtue is a choice. Andrew is the most virtuous of the three. Andrew does not engage in the fight since he does not see any value in the fighting. He is well aware that he will be punched if he joins the fight and does not see the point in that. To him, getting into the fight is a choice, and he does not see any benefit to it. Also, Andrew does not know what the fight is all about and never bothers even to fight, heading home. All his actions are out of choice. The decisions are not made out of fear or confidence, which are the two extremes in a fighting scenario but based on reason. Dustin, after seeing the fight, immediately enters into the fight. Dustin never reasoned why they were fighting or why he should join the fight in the first place since he is also a stranger in the fight. His decision is not out of choice, but an impulse, which is an extreme, and this is not virtuous. Also, there…

The mental health of aboriginal people in Canada. Introduction The aboriginal peoples around the world have experienced marginalization, a rapid change in culture, and global economy absorption without regarding their autonomy.[1] In many communities, the discontinuity in culture has been linked to high rates of violence, alcoholism, and depression, with a significant impact on youth. The aboriginal people constitute 4 percent of the Canadian population, with 11 major language groups.[2] There is a substantial linguistic and cultural difference among many groups. There are also enormous differences in lifestyle, perspective, and values within the urban population of aboriginal people. Despite this diversity, most groups share common economic, social, and political predicaments. The shared common predicament has made people forge a collective identity among diverse groups. This paper seeks to explain in detail the peoples of Canada’s mental issues, which comprise the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis.[3] The paper explores the history of systematic suppression and dislocation and its range and level of the problems it causes on the people and individual and ongoing collective transformation and the revitalization of identity and…
Electronic Health Records Advancement in technology has seen the American government embrace information systems to enhance service provision in its healthcare sector. Access to patient records is one of the essential aspects of any healthcare system.

However, the development of healthcare infrastructure has allowed hospitals to restructure their activities to tap into the benefits realized from the emerging information systems technology. The modern healthcare information system has made it possible for institutions to keep a large volume of clinical records as well as facilitating routine operations such as recording financial transactions of the healthcare system (Cowie et al., 2017). The research discusses the various healthcare systems and programs in America, their use and effectiveness in enhancing the quality of medical services. Advancement in internet technology has facilitated the emergence of the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN).
