Welcome to
Overdose Lifeline
Substance Use Disorder Help When and Where It’s Needed
Overdose due to opioid use has become a leading cause of death in the US. Today, Americans are more likely to die due to an overdose than they are from cars and guns. Yet services, specifically those aimed at overdose prevention and substance use help, do not meet the growing opioid crisis.
Overdose Lifeline’s objective is not only to increase access to overdose prevention and education services but also to remove the stigma of addiction and provide proper care and access to treatment for those at risk.
Learn more about Substance Use Disorder and the overdose epidemic.
