This 2nd Annual event will be held on the Dorothea Dix Campus on Saturday, September 5th, beginning at 9 am. Profits from the event will go to Exit Opioids to fulfill the mission and vision of the organization.
Exit Opioids (Exit) is a non-profit organization that was established in 2019 in Cary, North Carolina and created to connect people suffering from drug addiction to treatment centers, services, and resources in the fastest way possible to help them eliminate drug dependency. This non-profit was established to reduce the gap that many programs have with addressing the opioid crisis and the lack of user-level awareness that exists. There is an abundance of various help resources available, but resources are not always accessible by the users in a timely fashion - at the critical time when in crisis, to enable an immediate connection with the self-assisted facilities. Exit’s connection platform to treatment centers, services and resources is expected to reduce opioid overdose and overdose death.Click here to visit the Exit Opioids web site.
