Substance use disorders can affect anyone. According to recent statistics, at least one out four Pennsylvania households is impacted by this disease. Our daily news reminds us that we are in the midst of the worst overdose crisis in our history. In 2016, at least 13 Pennsylvanians died every day from drug overdoses. The scope of this tragedy is amplified by the fact that, like asthma and diabetes, addiction is a treatable disease. Now more than ever, our community must remain dedicated to helping people address this disease and to promoting the message that Treatment is effective, and people do recover.
