Introduced through legislation in July 2017 by
Legislator Anker, the Suffolk County Heroin and Opiate Epidemic Advisory Panel
was established with the goal of providing ongoing guidance and input to the
county in combating the opiate epidemic through preventative education,
enhancement of enforcement efforts, and aiding in the treatment and
rehabilitation of those addicted to opiates and heroin. The ever-evolving
nature of the opiate epidemic requires continuous commitment to identify new
resources and additional funding sources, and provide for greater focus on
educating the public about addiction.
