Why Is This Important?

Drug-related deaths are the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death in Arkansas and in 2019, the prescribing rate for opioids in Arkansas was the second highest in the nation.  High levels of availability of prescription opioids creates more opportunities for misuse and addiction among those at risk.
