The Opioid Crisis has become a national emergency in our country. It is no less of an emergency here in Idaho, especially for our family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors who are currently struggling with addiction.
On behalf of the more than 5,000 people who visited Recovery Community Centers of Idaho last month alone, THANK YOU for connecting with our mission and vision for tackling the Opioid Crisis here in Idaho.
