There are many ways people end up struggling with the disease that is addiction. Self-medicating, trauma, simultaneous mental health challenges, a pain prescription gone wrong… but no matter the cause, their life is worth saving. That's where our Overdose Action Plan comes in.

Local Advocates Say Justice Department’s Shift on Safe Injection Sites ‘Long Overdue’

Local advocates say so-called safe injection sites – safe havens for people to use drugs with protections against fatal overdoses – are crucial, especially with a rise in overdoses amid the pandemic.
