Advocates for the Reform of Prescription Opioids (ARPO)

Advocates for the Reform of Prescription Opioids is a bi-national organization in the U.S. and Canada, comprised of people who have been adversely affected by the consequences of the massive over-prescribing of prescription opioid pain pills, otherwise known as narcotics. We are bereaved parents, children, siblings and spouses, families of those suffering through an addiction, pain patients, doctors, and citizen advocates working toward more balanced care for patients who suffer from chronic pain, without causing harm to them and to the general public.
