Review the following information.
Article: "Opioid Overdose Crisis" by National Institute on Drug Abuse.
YouTube Video: "Addicted and left behind: the opioid epidemic killing African Americans".
In your discussion, please discuss why the OPIOD crisis is at the forefront of many news headlines. If you were a social worker assigned to a person with this addiction, what would you need to know in order to help the person, and treatment information would you provide to your client. Your answer must be at least two paragraphs. In your peer response, you must make a suggestion about additional information that is needed. For example: Student X will suggest to Student Y- "did you think about more information about his dropping out of school, because maybe that will tell us more about his coping strategies".
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
