Recovery Within Reach [ [link removed] ]

On* Tuesday,?*the Department of Commerce launched a new awareness campaign called Recovery Within Reach, which is aimed at helping families living with an opioid use disorder understand the financial costs of treatment programs or how to find financial support. The new initiative?is designed to train Ohio?s financial advisers and connect the general public with critical information about the economic impact of opioid addiction on families. Individuals will learn how and where to find treatment through a new mapping system and will be encouraged to work with a licensed financial professional to address the cost of treatment.?

?Substance use disorder knows no age group, demographic or income category, which is why our administration made a commitment to all Ohioans to invest in the battle against opioids,? said Governor Mike DeWine. ?Ohio is leading the way in innovative ways to reach families dealing with addiction and Recovery Within Reach is another tool in our toolbox.??
