It's National Addictions Awareness Week. We all can play a role in prevention, support and treatment of those suffering from addiction. Did you know that 83% of those struggling with problematic substance use experience barriers, such as stigma, in seeking help and sustaining recovery. In Hamilton, accidental deaths from opioid-related overdose are 4 times higher than in 2007. What can you do to help? #WordsMatter #NAAWCanada
