If we can get information before somebody experiments with an opioid or with a methamphetamine, that's the key.
Have you ever wondered where teens might hide drugs in their bedrooms? In this eye-opening episode of the Battling Opioids Podcast, PA State Rep. Doyle Heffley sheds light on this critical issue. The episode dives into the annual Carbon County Drug & Alcohol Awareness Expo, an initiative led by Heffley for the past seven years. This expo aims to educate the community—especially parents, teens, and seniors—about the perils of drug and alcohol abuse.
One of the standout features of the expo is a mock bedroom setup that reveals the sneaky spots where kids might stash drugs. It's an invaluable resource for parents who want to know the warning signs of substance use. Heffley stresses that education is crucial: the earlier we can inform people about the dangers of opioids and methamphetamines, the better our chances of preventing addiction.
The episode also highlights Geisinger's proactive approach to tackling opioid addiction through both prevention and treatment. They’re not just talking the talk—they’re walking the walk by reducing opioid prescriptions and opening medication-assisted treatment centers across Pennsylvania. So, if you're a parent worried about your child, or someone looking to understand more about how communities are fighting back against the opioid crisis, this episode is a must-listen.
It's packed with practical advice and real-world solutions to help keep our loved ones safe.
