Don’t Get Me Started is a statewide
public service campaign that speaks to
young adults and their friends and family on issues around opiate substance abuse. In partnership with the Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities (OACBHA) and the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services (ODADAS), DGMS drives Ohio residents to watch videos and understand how prescription drug addiction as well as other opiates negatively impact the lives of so many Ohioans across the state.

“The steps we are taking to wipe out this opiate epidemic have to include less opiate prescribing and effective addiction treatment for Ohioans who need it.
