Opioid Epidemic
Unfortunately, Covid has taken some attention away from the opioid epidemic that threatens our communities. Far too many of our friends, neighbors and family members have been taken from us by this epidemic.
That is why I have sponsored bills like HB 869 which has become law- This legislation requires the Department of Health, for the first time in this state’s history, to provide a publicly available list of state certified and accredited treatment centers for substance abusers. This will help them, and their families make an informed decision on the resources they can utilize to help ensure a full and speedy recovery.
I believe that, together, we can end this plaque on our communities!
