Designed to serve as a resource to reduce stigma associated with opioid use disorder, the website provides tools to build awareness, details on how individuals and employers can get involved, and includes information regarding the State of Indiana’s initiatives to combat the opioid crisis.

Holcomb has made attacking the drug crisis and helping people achieve recovery a key pillar of his agenda,” said Jim McClelland, Indiana Executive Director for Drug Prevention, Treatment and Enforcement. “It’s vital that we reduce the stigma that can present a barrier to effective treatment and the Know the O Facts campaign delivers the message that opioid use disorder is a disease, there’s treatment and recovery is possible.”
