In the fall of 2017, the Arkansas Department of Health engaged in a small reorganization to build capacity to better address the opioid epidemic. A new branch, Substance Misuse and Injury Prevention was created within the Center for Health Protection. The branch united two existing sections, Injury and Violence Prevention (IVP) and the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP).
