WASHINGTON—A new ad campaign that seeks to prevent youth from becoming addicted to opioids was launched June 7.
The ads use the real stories of young Americans who went to extreme lengths to feed their addiction—including one young man in Atlanta who broke his own arm by slamming it in a door to get more pain medication.
