Introduction
One of the mounting issues, not only in Ohio but also within whole of the US is the exponential increase in drug abuse and addiction. Drug abuse has not only destroyed families structurally and financially, it has also led untimely to deaths that could have been avoided. Particularly in the state of Ohio, opioid overdose abuse and deaths have been on an alarming rise.
Barlas (2017) mentioned that Ohio was the state with the second-highest rate of drug overdose deaths related to Opioids. The recorded death rate was 39.2 deaths per 100,000 persons while it was 14.6 deaths per 100,000 persons within rest of the country (NIDA, 2019). Deaths have been noted due to both prescription drugs and intentional drug abuse through the use of heroin. While the entire population is at risk for addiction, high-risk groups involve both males and females of middle age (Massatti, Beeghly, Hall, Kariisa & Potts, 2014). 
Due to the fact that a large part of Ohio’s population is prone to overdose and substance abuse risk, this issue emerges as a major priority above all. While the government has invested in grants and control measures with respect to opioid addiction and opioid availability, no significant reduction in deaths has been noted. Instead, Barlas (2017) suggested that within first four months of 2017, 96 deaths were recorded due to opioid overdose in Ohio. 
The issue significantly interested me because the level of abuse and deaths are not only high; the rate of addiction is also increasing every year. ‘Heroin addiction is becoming a major cause of preventable death in Ohio therefore, a collaborative effort between the government, state-wide and community leaders will be required’.
