Dutchess County Opiod Forum

 

Opioid abuse and addiction continue to devastate communities throughout Dutchess County. To increase public awareness of opioid abuse and to gain greater insight into the obstacles your local community has been facing throughout this epidemic, on July 9th, I will be hosting a forum on the opioid crisis. Local representatives from the Dutchess County Department of Behavioral and Community Health will be available with resources, and presentations will be made by experts in the field.
