In the Spotlight - Opioids

Published May 24, 2017

Did you know in the last decade that Opioid (e.g., heroin, morphine, prescription painkillers, etc.) overdose deaths in Iowa increased by over 300 percent?

To help raise awareness of this growing trend and available information and resources, the Iowa Department of Public Health has launched a campaign to increase Iowan's awareness, knowledge and access to prevention, recovery and treatment resources.  If you or someone you know is struggling with the misuse of prescription pain killers, opioids, or heroin, please visit the About page to access helpful information and resources about Opioids.
