Aaron Ferguson, (BSW) is a Regional Impact Manager with Community Medical Services (CMS). CMS is a national provider of medications for people with opioid use disorder. Aaron works to advocate for and implement methadone and buprenorphine treatments in jails, prisons, inpatient settings, and communities in general. Aaron is also on the leadership team of the Urban Survivor’s Union, a national group of advocates for drug user health. Most of what Aaron knows about harm reduction he learned during 15 years of living on the streets of San Francisco and Santa Cruz California as a kid. Traveling to over 30 countries and living in several European countries as a citizen has also taught Aaron that the US has an unnecessarily barbaric way of dealing with people who use drugs. Having received a degree in social work—and upon spending several years examining the scientific literature—Aaron believes that the best way to combat the misinformation and stigma against people who use substances is for those most directly impacted to organize and fight for their own rights. Aaron works tirelessly to help communities accept the overwhelming evidence for harm reduction and MAT, and wants to help bring about a revolution in the US to begin seeing people who use drugs as humans, rather than immoral or diseased subjects. 

As a hobby, Aaron produces a long-standing harm reduction podcast called “The Social Exchange with Zach Rhodes”, spotlighting important topics related to harm reduction, and has another podcast called “Narcotica” spotlighting past and current events in the war on drugs. Aaron is a happily married father of 2 who encourages skepticism, reason and science as the paths to enlightenment and discovery. When Aaron is not working, he enjoys running marathons, producing music, scuba diving and most of all spending quality time with his wife and two kids.
