Opioid Resources
Recovery is Possible
The path to recovery is different for every individual. Very few are able to quit without the proper medical assistance and community support networks. While there has been an increased severity of the epidemic in recent years, treatment is available and recovery is possible.
MHS is working closely with providers, pharmacies and community services to support our members who are struggling with substance use.
