South Shore Health to prescribe opioid screening awareness

South Shore Health will be one of multiple host sites throughout the state promoting Massachusetts Opioid Screening and Awareness Day. “The use of drugs such as opioids, and the ever-increasing needs of those facing addiction are overwhelming our communities and the people on the front lines who care for those in need,” said Todd Kerensky, MD, Director of Addiction Medicine at South Shore Health. “By participating in this event, we are bringing to light an issue that has been kept in the dark for too long. The good news is that opioid use disorder is treatable and help is available.”
