Nationwide, health professionals say opioid addition kills about 90 people every day. “It’s vital we take an aggressive role here locally to warn people about the dangers of these powerful drugs. Our team has created special educational sessions for neighborhood groups, faith-based organizations and civic clubs,” said Shelby County Health Department Director Dr. Alisa Haushalter. “Our goal is to ensure people know the warning signs and seek help,” added Dr. Haushalter. Citizens can call (901) 222-9000 or go to www.shelbytnhealth.com to schedule an opioid education session.
