National Rx Summit

From March 28-31, leaders across different fields met in Atlanta, GA to participate in the fifth National Rx Drug Abuse & Heroin Summit. The Summit is the largest collaboration of federal, state, and local professionals addressing prescription drug abuse and heroin use. This year’s Summit was particularly noteworthy, as President Obama was in attendance to announce new initiatives and to discuss the opioid crisis. The President emphasized the rise in opioid use and fatalities from opioid abuse. He also stressed the importance of preventing abuse by treating mental health problems. Stay tuned for the next National Rx Drug Abuse & Heroin Summit, which will be held in Atlanta, GA from April 17-20, 2017.
