An opioid and prescription drug abuse epidemic is sweeping New Hampshire and the rest of the country, impacting all segments of society.To help raise awareness of this epidemic and to help educate young people on the dangers of addiction, the FBI and DEA have released the documentary Chasing the Dragon: The Life of an Opiate Addict, a compilation of heart-wrenching first-person accounts by addicts and family members of addicts about their experiences.
To watch or learn more about this documentary, please visit www.fbi.gov/ChasingTheDragon.
Unfortunately, New Hampshire is no stranger to this epidemic. We hear about it in the news daily and many of us may know of a loved one, a neighbor, or an acquaintance impacted by substance abuse.
The Moser family lost their son, Adam, in 2015 to a fentanyl overdose. Jim and Jean Moser have been working to raise awareness of this epidemic by sharing Adam's story and promoting the "Zero Left" initiative. This is an initiative that targets the reduction of pills left in medicine cabinets and prevent easy access to opioids and other medications.
