How do we ensure we are funding those services and people are getting to the type of treatment they need?
My colleague and I--Senator Moore Capito--introduced legislation to be able to go after those fraudulent programs
I do not think opioid abuse is immune in any community. Everybody is affected by it, including in the State of Nevada.
