How To Get Help: An Opioid Addiction Resource Guide – WYSO

By WYSO & Katie Wedell

WYSO is a partner in the Southwest Ohio Your Voice Ohio project. It’s a collaborative effort to produce more relevant, powerful journalism based on the needs and ambitions of Ohioans and Ohio communities.

Your Voice Ohio is an initiative of WYSO and more than 30 news organizations across the state. We’re beginning with the opioid epidemic and will let the public guide us from there.

At a series of community forums Your Voice Ohio organized in February across the Miami Valley, many residents expressed confusion and frustration over not knowing how to access addiction-related information, resources, detox or treatment services.

Many people told us they were desperate for ways to help themselves, family members or loved ones access the help they need to get clean.
