Rep. Rouzer hosting opioid symposium in Wilmington

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A symposium aimed to share the best ways to address opioids when it comes to stigma, treatment, prevention and law enforcement is being held in Wilmington at the end of the month.

“The Opioid Symposium will also serve as a resource for those who are either struggling or have a loved one struggling with addiction to learn where they can go for treatment and recovery in all nine counties across the 7th District,” said Rep. David Rouzer, who is hosting the symposium.

The objective of the symposium, Rouzer said, is to gather the best and brightest across the state who have been working on the issue, to spark a dialogue across the district that lays out the best practices to address the issues.

The 7th District Opioid Symposium will be held on July 30 at the Coastline Conference and Event Center at 501 Nutt Street. It runs from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

For those who live in the northern part of the district and can’t attend, there will be a simulcast at the Maxwell Regional Agriculture and Convention Center at 3114 Wayne Memorial Drive in Goldsboro.
