Education about the dangers of these drugs needs to be increased, and more support needs to be put in place for those who are trying to recover. We also need to do more to hold drug dealers accountable for their actions, and ensure that they are not able to get away with selling these dangerous drugs.

As someone who has struggled with mental health issues in the past, it’s distressing to read about the how the opioid epidemic has impacted so many lives in Philadelphia - and all over the US. It’s yet another reminder of how important it is that we take this issue seriously and do what we can to prevent more lives from being lost.
We need to make sure that people have access to treatment options and comprehensive addiction services, whatever their background or socioeconomic status might be. The government must be held accountable for providing adequate resources and making sure there are no financial or geographical barriers that prevent people from seeking help. Drug dealers should also be held responsible and face legal consequences for their actions.
Ultimately, if we are to address this crisis effectively, we need an intersectional approach- one that draws attention to social factors like poverty which can contribute to higher rates of drug use. Education around addiction should also be part of the conversation - it’s crucial for young people growing up today to learn about how destructive these drugs can be so as not to fall prey to them in the future.

The government must find ways to create more resources for those struggling with addiction, increase education about these drugs and provide more support systems for those trying to recover. We should also make sure that drug dealers selling these dangerous substances are punished accordingly, so they won’t get away with it anymore. These steps would go a long way towards preventing further tragedies caused by the opioid epidemic.
It’s an awful situation that has affected too many people, and it’s critical that immediate action is taken against this issue now before even more lives are taken away too soon.
