The Paradox of Progress: Why Addiction Deaths Are Dropping—But Treatment Still Isn’t Working for Everyone

Lighthouse shining over a stormy ocean with text about declining overdose deaths and the need for long-term addiction recovery support, featuring Donlan Counseling Services logo.

“We’ve gotten better at keeping people alive—but not always at helping them live.”

Grounded in practical change and over 25 years of professional and personal insight, Dr. Matthew Donlan provides expert behavioral health care for those navigating substance use and mental health challenges. From our home in Mashpee to clients across Massachusetts via Telehealth, the focus is on breaking cycles and building healthier, more effective ways to live.
