NASSAU, BAHAMAS – While The Bahamas isn’t experiencing the opioid epidemic that the United States has been battling for the last decade, Health Minister Dr. Michael Darville says many people are first introduced to these drugs by a licensed physician.

He says as a result they’re working closely with physicians to make sure opioids are not overprescribed, which some studies say contributed to the issues in the United States.
