From billboards to online resources, the National Opioid Awareness Day focused on education, prevention, and recovery. The Alabama Department of Mental Health (ADMH), in partnership with Opioids Take and funded by the Alabama Legislature, recognized National Opioid Awareness Day on September 21. National Opioid Awareness Day served as an opportunity to reaffirm the state’s commitment to saving lives and supporting families through compassion and education. The observance of National Opioid Awareness Day was one of the many ways the effort worked to drive change across the state. By observing National Opioid Awareness Day, ADMH and its partners reaffirmed their commitment to saving lives and supporting families through prevention, treatment, and recovery.
