Our Story
Overdose Lifeline has been on the front-lines of the opioid epidemic since 2014, helping individuals, families, and communities affected by the disease of addiction.
Overdose Lifeline Beginnings
Founded by Justin Phillips in 2014 after the death of her youngest son, Aaron, due to a heroin overdose, Overdose Lifeline is a statewide Indiana non-profit dedicated to helping individuals, families, and communities affected by the disease of addiction/substance use disorder through advocacy, education, and support.
To carry the message of hope to individuals, families, and communities affected by the disease of addiction.
We envision a time when the disease of addiction does not carry a stigma but is provided the attention and care required of a chronic disease.
I feel like we’re able to make a difference. We’re going to save lives. We’re going to stop people from having to experience what I have experienced.
It is who Aaron was – he would want to help people.
