overdose deaths

"I was 8 years old the first time I took an opiate — an expired painkiller I found in our medicine cabinet with a 'May cause drowsiness' label."
The death of 19-year-old Eric Chase Bolling has been linked to opioids.
Over 40 Americans die every day from overdoses of prescribed opiates.
Advocates say this is another important step toward preventing fatal opioid overdoses.
