The Ohio Opioid Education Alliance has rolled out a new public education campaign, Denial Ohio, to prevent abuse of prescription opioids, and representatives from the group will be in Chillicothe this Monday to talk about it.

“Many people in Ross County know and understand the incredible toll that addiction has taken on our community over the past few years. Despite increased community awareness there are still many who don’t know that prescription drug abuse is a devastating problem, believe the problem is past us, or just don’t think it could happen to them or someone they love. Living in Denial could jeopardize the progress we’re making in the community.”
