The opposite of addiction is connection, which is why building community and checking in on your loved ones is so important. The stigma cannot break unless it is discussed.

As we near the close of Substance Use Disorder and Treatment Month, we would like to remind everyone of the importance of talking about these issues. Addiction thrives in silence and in stigma. No matter someone's age, they can face this struggle. It is never too late, or too early, to find recovery 💜

Overdose does not discriminate, which is why being prepared for one is important for everyone. Knowledge is power and can save a life.

This Substance Use Disorder and Treatment Month, educate your children on the dangers substance use can pose.

We have some incredible resources on our website, including guides to help you talk to children in your community about the dangers of substance use. This information and guidance was developed in collaboration with Dr. Norman Montalto, a long-time friend and advisor to the Institute. Dr. Montalto is a physician and a statewide and national networking activist and social entrepreneur seeking to reduce health inequities and improve harm reduction services. His expertise in talking with others about prevention and treatment is invaluable.

"Against the dim glow of neon signs, a bright purple box now stands out on the walls of many Huntington bars aptly mounted alongside fire extinguishers and first aid kits. Though small, this box holds something powerful inside: the ability to save a life.

"The ONEbox, invented by Huntington native Joe Murphy, is an emergency opioid overdose reversal kit that has circulated to all 50 states. In addition to its recent adoption in local bars, 30,000 kits have been distributed nationwide with 400 reported lives saved."
