 - Talk to your medical provider about alternative methods for pain relief

 - Watch your medicine cabinet, so prescription drugs do not get into the wrong hands

 - Share your story of overcoming or battle with opioid addiction with Representative Dave Baker by contacting him at DBaker0327@gmail.com.
