Facing Addiction in America: The Surgeon General’s Spotlight on Opioids

The Spotlight on Opioids assembles opioid-related information from the Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health into one document to inform the general public, especially family and friends of people with an elevated risk of opioid overdose, opioid misuse, and/or opioid use disorder. The publication was unveiled by Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use Elinore F. McCance-Katz, HHS Deputy Secretary Eric D. Hargan, and Surgeon General Jerome Adams at the Great Circle Academy –  a Missouri school that serves as a recovery-based academic program for teens.
