Here at Opioid Crisis Education and Advocacy Network (OCEAN), we believe that community is rooted in a common experience, regardless of how that began. This country vilifies and blames individuals for opioid misuse although the issue is rooted in a much larger and corrupt system. We are working to correct the biases and counter the stigma against individuals affected by opioid addiction and opioid use disorder. By educating people on what addiction is and isn't, we can shift the cultural framework of how people view addicted individuals and help them get the treatment they need to recover.
