The Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic has developed this toolkit in conjunction with the Addiction Policy Forum to connect families impacted by addiction with evidence­based resources around prevention, treatment, and recovery. Information for Caseworkers. 

This Toolkit includes resources around prevention, drug treatment, recovery support and general information for families, community organizations, schools, and parents concerned about addiction and looking for support. This toolkit was assembled to provide each Member of Congress and their staff resources to connect our constituents directly with resources. 

Please disseminate to your district office, make available on your website, and provide these useful resources to your constituents. Our hope is that during Opioid Awareness week we can not only work on meaningful legislation, but also help provide better support to the families in our communities struggling with this epidemic.
