“You get hot flashes, pain on the back of your leg for some reason, and your mood is so hard to control, you’re angry, you can’t focus on anything” says Grigg. The City of Greater Sudbury will be hosting a summit in the fall to better understand the northern opioid problem and look at ways to address it.
