Substance Abuse - Response and Prevention

Wisconsin Department of Health Services has a program to educate and prevent opioid harm with their Dose of Reality program.  Opioids are powerful drugs. Prescription pain relievers, fentanyl, and heroin hurt Wisconsin residents every day. More people die of opioid overdoses in Wisconsin each year than car crashes. But there is something more powerful than opioids: All of us. Together, we can reduce the dangers of opioids and their impact on our communities.

Visit the Dose of Reality website to learn more about opioids and other educational resources.
