Opioid and Overdose
We work to not only prevent opioid dependence and overdose (such as targeting prescribing practices), but also to improve the care and outcomes for people who use opioids or who have experienced an overdose. Reducing stigma and improving the initiation and coordination of care are just a few examples of how we are tackling the opioid epidemic.
