Press Quotes From Harvard-Trained Addiction Medicine Physician Dr. Jayson A. Hymes, MD, MPH
Here are some quotes approved for media use:
“There is a risk to viewing detox as a silver bullet in addiction care. Once we think of detox as the entry point of recovery instead of the summit, we can begin to see that a system built around whole-picture medical care. This is far more effective care.”
“There is a growing trend using AI and other technologies to drive business decisions. This is especially problematic in addiction treatment. When these models begin to guide care instead of clear medical judgment, it can lead to poor outcomes.”
“Decades of experience in addiction oversight have taught me that addiction treatment requires careful medical oversight. No algorithm can replace a good medical director who is accountable.”
