Families Against Narcotics - Naloxone presentation at WCC

“Families Against Narcotics” crossed to the west side of US-23 this week, with hope for those in the midst of opioid addiction

February 11, 2020
In the mid-1980s, First Lady Nancy Reagan gave particular voice to a revamped “War on Drugs” with three words: “Just say no.” [1-5] With each passing year, criticisms of this mantra point to the alarming number of individuals who do not take this advice to heart.

Eastbound traffic coming into the City of Saline on US-12 is shunted off onto Monroe Street, creating an ....
