Understanding the Opioid Epidemic is a one-hour PBS documentary that traces the causes behind the unprecedented growth in the use of prescription opioids and the devastating impact these drugs are having in every part of America. To accompany the television program, a community education and engagement initiative has been developed. The impact on young people, families and communities is devastating. Awareness and education can hopefully begin to slow the epidemic.
