Issue Position: Fighting the Drug Crisis

Issue Position

Nowhere has the nation's emerging opiate drug crisis hit harder than Ohio. Nathan Manning worked with the state to invest more than $1 billion in the fight against drug abuse and addiction. Under Nathan Manning's leadership, Ohio has cracked down on Fentanyl possession and drug trafficking. And tough, new limits on prescriptions for the treatment of acute pain are expected to reduce opiate doses by the millions in hopes of further tightening the flow of these dangerous, addictive drugs. Nathan Manning also expanded access to the life-saving heroin antidote Naloxone, giving law enforcement, emergency personnel, homeless shelters, halfway houses, schools and treatment centers an effective tool to save individuals who have overdosed.
