Resolve
As Montanans, we are blessed to live in Big Sky Country. However, prescription drug abuse is an ugly problem marring our beautiful state.
In fact, from 2011 – 2013 prescription drug overdoses (where no substances other than Rx drugs were present) were responsible for at least 369 deaths and more than 7200 hospital inpatient admissions and emergency department encounters in our state according to the Montana Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Epidemiology and Scientific Support.
Radio Public Service Announcement from Attorney General Tim Fox.
It isn’t easy to watch the terrible effects of prescription drug abuse. However, too many Montanans watch those they love change; watch families being torn apart; watch them lose everything. YOU can make a difference in preventing abuse and help save our friends, families, and neighbors. Resolve to end prescription drug abuse in Montana.
