Ohio has been hard hit by the opioid crisis. Research shows that public awareness of the issue is high, but many Ohioans just don’t think it will impact them.
OFDA has partnered with the Ohio Opioid Education Alliance to provide a number of tools and resources that educate Ohioans about the dangers of opioid addiction and the impact it’s having on communities throughout the state.
Drug misuse often begins in the home medicine cabinet. That's why it is important to immediately dispose of deceased loved one's leftover pills. The best way to safely dispose of unused medicine is to participate in a drug take-back program or purchase a safe drug deactivation bag.
