Celebrate National Opioid Awareness Day on Sept. 21 by spreading the word about opioid abuse and its effects! This day was created to raise awareness of the dangers of opioids and to help those who are struggling with addiction. Opioids have been around since ancient times, but have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to reduce pain. Unfortunately, they can also be extremely addictive if used incorrectly or without medical supervision. By raising awareness of these risks we can all do our part in helping those affected by opioid abuse.
