There’s an Opioid Crisis in the US

First things first, we need to get this out of the way; there’s an opioid crisis in the US. It may not be an easy or pleasant pill to swallow but we all know it’s the truth. More and more Americans are dying each and every day as a direct result of opioid abuse and opioid overdose. We have a serious issue on our hands here and if something serious is not done to combat the spiraling opioid epidemic, we risk addicting an entire generation of American children. We must keep our homes and families safe. This is the greatest country in the world, we cannot let the opioids win. But what can be done to combat such a tragic and frightening plague? We could, of course, discuss the medical breakthroughs being made day after day, or the life-saving work being done by men and women on the front lines of the fight against the opioid crisis. But unless you are one of the paramedics, doctors, or nurses laying your life down each and every day to save the lives of young and vulnerable Americans there is little chance you will appreciate the gritty reality of the fight against addiction. We don’t intend to drag you into the dark underbelly of the opioid plague that is currently killing our children. Instead, we want to focus on what the average American citizen can do to combat the effects of opioid abuse in the home and prevent the spread and development of this dangerous epidemic in the years to come.
