All Sides with Ann Fisher - 10:00 AM - Treating Ohio's Opiate Addiction
 
Play
 
Opiate addiction is now on par with alcoholism in Ohio- at least when it comes to people seeking publicly-funded treatment. The recent expansion of Medicaid has allowed thousands more to receive mental health services, but the cost of treatment still remains a barrier to recovery. This hour we'll talk about how the state is fighting its drug abuse epidemic.

Guests:

Andrea Boxill, deputy director of the Governor's Cabinet Opiate Action Team
Jona Ison, enterprise reporter for Gannett Ohio
Mike DeWine, attorney general of Ohio
