The opioid epidemic has impacted every part of Ohio, including Mifflin Township.

To combat this, Mifflin Township is dedicated to helping residents who struggle with opioid addiction and preventing overdose-related deaths.

The Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board of Franklin County (ADAMH) is a government agency with programs aimed to reduce drug misuse through treatment and community outreach.
