MY APPROACH TO THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC: SUPPLY SUPPORT, DEMAND SOLUTIONS
“If we want to make a difference, law enforcement has to be equally concerned with addressing demand. By working on education, prevention, treatment and harm reduction, we can help reduce demand. Not only is this the right thing to do from a humanistic perspective, it is also a much more effective way to combat the epidemic we all face. This has to be done collaboratively by bringing together stakeholders from both the government and private sector.”
-Michael G. Nerheim, Lake County State’s Attorney, Co-Founder Lake County Opioid Initiative
