Join one of the Lucas County D.A.R.T. counselors (Drug Abuse Response Team) to learn about the opioid epidemic’s effect on older residents and what you can do to help prevent the problem.
There’s a lot of attention given to this problem among younger people and family members, but less focus on older residents. They can be an overlooked population related to opioid abuse and overdose. Yet, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention more than 4 in 10 overdose deaths were in people older than 45. Learn more about opioid use, prescription medication abuse, and what you can do to help prevent the problem.
