Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller unveiled today a website dedicated to providing Iowans with a path to recovery from Opioid Use Disorder. IowaOpioidHelp.com directs Iowans to treatment centers and other resources across the state.  

¢â‚¬Å“Most people do not realize that addiction to opioids is treatable and that Iowans suffering from Opioid Use Disorder can successfully regain control of their lives, ¢â‚¬ � Miller said.   ¢â‚¬Å“There is help and hope available right now. ¢â‚¬ �  

Last year, 258 Iowans died from opioid overdoses, a 21.2% increase from 2020. First Responders are using more and more doses of naloxone to counteract overdoses, keeping the death toll from worsening. 

¢â‚¬Å“Iowa has a huge unmet demand for treatment for people suffering from Opioid Use Disorder, ¢â‚¬ � Miller said. ¢â‚¬Å“For Iowans struggling with this disease, let me be clear: Treatment works, and there ¢â‚¬â„¢s no better time than now to get help. ¢â‚¬ �
