CARBONDALE, IL – U.S. Representative Mike Bost today toured the new RecoverUS facility in Carbondale to discuss efforts to help patients recover from recreational and prescription drug addiction.

 

“In 2017 alone, over 2,200 Illinoisans died from opioid overdoses,” said Bost. “That’s over 2,200 moms and dads, sons and daughters, and neighbors and friends whose lives were cut short. Working together with organizations like RecoverUS, we can help make sure that folks heal from their addictions and go on to live healthy and happy lives.”
