Abstract
Substance abuse/addiction, especially of opioids, is a major problem in Franklin County, where resources are not easily accessible to patients struggling/in recovery. Educating patients about the availability of peer support groups/recovery centers and clinics in the community may provide an attractive resource for patients who need additional help.
