Right next door to us in Ontario Canada deaths from opiod abuse have doubled since 1991.
Deaths from opioid use in Ontario, Canada, have doubled since 1991 and the addition of long-acting oxycodone to the drug formulary was associated with a 5-fold increase in oxycodone-related deaths, found a new study in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).
GCASA has a specialty program for people addicted to Opiods. We have seen a big increase here of patients wanting service. There are over 85 patients on Suboxone treatment. The primary source of addiction is prescription pain pills.
When you look at the public health data, it is clear that programs like the Opiod treatment program at GCASA save lives.

Ed Frank's message is simple: "A drunk driver is as dangerous as a misguided missile."
That's why he created a large missile with an anti-DWI slogan painted on its side.
As the founder of Choices 301, Frank, a retired deputy chief from the Colonie Police Department, knows the dangers of drinking and driving. His mission has often involved adopting new methods to promote his message, but the missile is a new tactic.
"When you think about the devastation that comes with that drunk behind the wheel and the lives that are lost needlessly, the missile represents exactly what we want it to do," Frank said. "You get behind the wheel ... you have no control whatsoever of that motorized machine."
