Did you know that access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) can decrease overdose deaths by 32%? Stats like this are a powerful reminder that effective treatment saves lives. At BHG, we combine MOUD with counseling and other support services to care for the whole person and build lasting recovery — because treatment isn’t just about surviving; it’s about reclaiming your life.

💙 This Substance Use Prevention Month, let’s commit to education, awareness and access. Together, we can help prevent overdose and spread hope.
