Antioch hosting opioid/drug awareness fair
An Opioid/Drug Awareness Resource Fair will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25, at Antioch Community High School, 1133 Main St., Antioch.
Antioch police are partnering with nearly a dozen community organizations to host the event focused on "a hometown response to a national crisis." The fair will present information on the impacts of addiction and what law enforcement and local agencies are doing to combat its effects.
Parents and others may not know what to look for because many of the commonly abused drugs that are causing problems today resemble legitimate prescription and over-the-counter medication, organizers say.
