In 2022, over 109,000 people were lost overdose in America. Every one of those deaths was preventable.
This day is in honor of all those who lost their lives or loved ones, and the continued fight to save lives.
Encountering an overdose can happen to anyone, anywhere. The good news is, if you are prepared, you can help save a life.
If you’d like to learn more about how to prepare yourself for encountering someone experiencing an overdose — or learn more about harm reduction — please visit the essential resources available from some organizations leading the fight:
A national advocacy and capacity-building organization that promotes the wellbeing and dignity of people and communities affected by drug use.
An online and mail-based harm reduction service designed to help you find naloxone, reduce opioid overdose death, prevent injection-related disease transmission, and improve the lives of people who use drugs.
The world’s annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died, and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind.
The agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that leads public health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. SAMHSA's mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on America's communities.
If you’d like to join the fight, please help us raise awareness about the Overdose Crisis far and wide. Reshare our video on all of your social platforms.
You can take action by joining the American Society of Addiction Medicine's campaign to expand access to MOUD and send a message to your Senators.
