(PharmaNewsWire.Com, March 27, 2017 ) Cincinnati, OH -- ABC10News reports the opioid abuse epidemic has an unexpected and tragic victim: toddlers and young children who accidentally come into contact with the powerful drugs. Because the pills and tablets can resemble candies, children unintentionally ingest adult doses of powerful painkillers, which can cause a rapid deaths. Legal action has been taken against the adults responsible for the care of the toddler's lost to deadly opioids.
Rehab services have become vital to saving lives across the country, yet very little protects innocent children from accidental tragedies within the home. Providers of drug rehab in Cincinnati, such as Cincinnati Drug Rehab, work tirelessly to combat opioid abuse but also recognize the shortcomings when it comes to children's services.While not all tragedies can be prevented, Cincinnati Drug Rehab urges parents and guardians to utilize extreme caution.
A representative of Cincinnati Drug Rehab comments,
"Young children depend on the adults around them to protect them from danger and guide them. When tragedy strikes because a guardian is under the influence of addiction or leaves dangerous substances within the reach of toddlers, we must look beyond the initial reaction of anger to the true culprit of addiction. Substance abuse disorders sabotage the mind, prioritizing the need for opioids above even our most natural instincts to protect our offspring. These tragedies are avoidable with early intervention and proper treatment. Rather than rushing to harsh punishments, we need to focus more on ensuring these kinds of things never happen again."
