Treating Drug Addiction & Preventing Overdoses in San Francisco / Rancho-Obi Wan— State Of The Bay 6pm PT

2023 was San Francisco’s deadliest year on record for drug overdoses. More than 800 residents lost their lives to accidental overdoses last year, and nearly 80% of those deaths were linked to the synthetic opioid fentanyl. Tonight on State of the Bay, I’ll host a panel of experts who will discuss what should be done to address addiction and prevent more loss of life in our city.

Joining me will be:

  • Vitka Eisen, president and CEO, HealthRIGHT 360
  • Kevin Fagan, reporter, The San Francisco Chronicle
  • Dr. Anna Lembke, professor of psychiatry, Stanford University School of Medicine; chief, Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic; author, Drug Dealer, MD – How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It’s So Hard to Stop and Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence

Finally, we’ll learn about Rancho-Obi Wan, the largest Star Wars memorabilia collection in the country, from the collector Steve Sansweet.
