Opioid Abuse Prevention
In order to strengthen our community, we want to provide resources to assist in the fight against substance abuse. In recent years, the Opioid Crisis has become a health emergency that is impacting people of all ages and socioeconomic status. The Y wants to address these issues through providing resources to help you understand the epidemic, learn how to combat it from a family level, learn curriculum resources, and fight it through proper prescription medicine disposal.
If you're having a substance abuse issue, call 1-800-662-HELP to talk specifics with someone trained.
First, clean out your medicine cabinet.
Leftover pills can kill, so make your home and your family safer.
