When we talk about the opioid epidemic, we always talk about the overdose deaths.

Huntington Fire Chief Jan Rader understands that. More than 880 West Virginians fatally overdosed on drugs in 2016. Huntington and the rest of Cabell County had more overdose deaths than any other county in the state. Rader can’t remember the last time a day went by without an overdose somewhere in Huntington.
