Georgia is one of 13 states receiving the highest mark from the National Safety Council for taking comprehensive actions to eliminate opioid overdoses and help protect residents. The state rose from a “failing’’ designation in 2016 to “improving’’ in the new report on the opioid crisis, released in conjunction with National Rx Drug and Heroin Summit, held this week in Atlanta. The summit featured addresses from former President Bill Clinton and from Kellyanne Conway, an adviser to President Trump who has been designated to lead the administration response to the opioid problem.
