Previously known as the Arizona RX Toolkit, this resource was crucial for helping Arizonans protect their friends, children, and loved ones from the opioid epidemic. With the emergence of new trends in substance use, the Governor's Office of Youth, Faith and Family (GOYFF) is dedicated to providing Arizonans with the tools they need to live healthy, thriving lives free from substance misuse and abuse.
