Our society is being eroded at a rate of 275 deaths per day because at-risk populations have limited resources, prevention strategies or treatment and recovery service options.We have reached a new milestone with 100k overdose deaths during the pandemic. Opioid prescriptions unleashed a wave of opioid use disorder that is now spiraled into epic proportions. Today, fentanyl is so lethal that one use or one fake pill can cause death. We must turn this around.

100,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 12 months during the pandemic The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a record number of Americans died of drug overdoses in the 12 months ending April 2021. Overdose deaths have doubled since 2014, and fentanyl now is responsible for more than 60 percent of overdose fatalities.
