RX Opioids: Even When Prescribed by a Doctor

Some people might think prescription opioids are safer than alcohol or illegal drugs, but the truth is they carry serious risks and side effects. Talk with your doctor about your concerns and make informed decisions about pain management together.
Prescription opioids can be prescribed by doctors to treat moderate to severe pain, but can also have serious risks and side effects. Refer to the CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain to minimize patient risk.

Battling Opioids to Address Current and
New Treatments for the Opiate Crisis in Pennsylvania

For almost three decades, the number of overdose deaths have continued to increase throughout the US. In 2018, deaths were down, but in Pennsylvania the commonwealth has the third-highest rate of overdose deaths in the nation.That’s why Pennsylvania Public Media bring awareness to the opioid crisis. Join us for stories from across the state including a panel discussion that focuses on the new treatments.

Mobile Help: Vivitrol is a once-a-month injection that is helping those with opioid addiction to move beyond cravings to sustained recovery. Peer Support for Recovery: While we hear a lot about the staggering number of people that lose their battle with opioids on a daily basis, we hear less about the number of people who enter recovery.

Music and Art Therapy are alternative forms of treatment that are now being used in recovery.

While we hear a lot about the staggering number of people that lose their battle with opioids every day, we hear less about the number of people who enter recovery. For decades, this community has been somewhat anonymous. Today, those in opioid recovery are holding public events to raise awareness, creating outreach programs and most importantly - offering support to their peers. In fact, some say peer support is what keeps them in recovery.

Battling Opioids Podcast Episode 1

Pennsylvania has one of the highest opioid overdose death rates in the nation. Every day, thousands of Pennsylvanians—mothers and fathers, children, neighbors—struggle to overcome addiction. Rural and urban, rich and poor, the opioid crisis affects all of us.

Neither people nor communities can fight this battle alone. Public media has unique potential to connect Pennsylvanians across boundaries, and, in an unprecedented collaboration, we are doing just that. Our local reporting and programming have covered the opioid crisis for years—but now we are uniting to show you how Pennsylvanians statewide are confronting the epidemic of heroin and prescription opioid abuse. We are increasing awareness and empathy to reduce the stigma around opioid use, aid prevention, and help people find treatment.

Pennsylvania Public Media stations WHYY (Philadelphia), WITF (Harrisburg), WLVT/PBS39 (Greater Lehigh Valley), WPSU (State College), WQED (Pittsburgh), WQLN (Northwestern Pennsylvania), and WVIA (Northeastern Pennsylvania) are collaborating to produce educational programming that focuses on the opioid crisis and its impact. Watch videos produced by each station and keep up with our reporting.

Battling Opioids — Sun, 26 May 2019 23:00:00 +0000

As the opioid crisis worsens, more parents are being jailed, overdosing or dying. That’s putting more children into the foster system -- and there aren't enough foster parents to go around. "The trauma to children is profound," says Kimberly Rogers, of Washington County Children and Youth Services.

In Western PA, Cetina and Troy Hendal have taken in seven foster children whose birth parents are struggling with substance use disorder--and just recently adopted two of them.

"If we can change a few lives and stop the cycle, then we've done something," says Troy.

Cetina agrees. "Despite all the noise and the chaos, we're a family."

Pennsylvania's Public Media stations are coming together to share resources, convene community conversations, and produce educational programming that focuses on the opioid crisis and its impact.
