Heading to West Virginia today to talk about the epidemic of prescription drug abuse in America and what we can do to help. The facts:
-
4 in 5 heroin users started out by misusing prescription opioids. Heroin-related deaths nearly quadrupled between 2002 and 2013.
With no other disease do we expect people to wait until they're a danger to themselves or others to self-diagnose and seek treatment.
-
-
Communities are showing that we should approach substance use disorders as an opportunity to intervene rather than a race to incarcerate.
-
So I'm eager to hear from folks in Charleston today on actions we can take to put recovery within reach for anyone who needs it.
