Painful Truth Campaign encourages non-opioid solutions for pain relief

The United States makes up around 4% of the world’s population, but it consumes more than 80% of the world’s opioids.
Mothers Against Prescription Drug Abuse and Aleve have launched a campaign called The Painful Truth for that very reason.
In 2011, former Congresswoman Mary Bono helped create Mothers Against Prescription Drug Abuse with three mothers who lost children or loved ones to a prescription overdose. In partnership with Aleve, they launched the Painful Truth Campaign to encourage people to explore non-addictive pain relief options with their doctor.
