About this Project
The numbers are staggering. The opioid epidemic is bigger than any one of us, and affects our entire community. We are seeing too many deaths. We are seeing too many arrests. While our law enforcement and emergency medical professionals are in the fight, and our families are on the frontlines, it will take all of us to help our family and friends who wrestle with addiction and substance abuse. While raising awareness of the opioid epidemic is essential, the purpose of INTENTION INTO ACTION is to offer hope to individuals, families and our community by giving a clear path to recovery and helping turn our intentions into action.
