HAS A BIG PROBLEM

It would be easy to regard opioid misuse and addiction as a big-city problem, but you’d be wrong. The truth is that communities of every size need to know the dangers. This is a crisis we’ve all been experiencing together. From the pain pills that flooded clinics and doctor’s offices in the early 2000s to the heroin use that rose as prescriptions dried up, to fentanyl, which today appears in virtually every street drug or counterfeit pill – no individual or community is immune to the issue.

Finding Recovery

Recovery is possible, but a single stint in rehab is unlikely to result in success. It’s a process that takes time and community support. It requires a sincere desire to reclaim one’s life. Fortunately, Minnesota has many programs designed to help individuals recover from opioid abuse. It’s essential to find the resource that’s right for you.
