National nonprofit offering trusted guidance through SUD and removing the systemic, healthcare, and social barriers to a strong recovery.
Addiction doesn’t discriminate, but inequities mean Black & Hispanic/Latinx communities often face greater barriers to care.

That’s why we partnered with, the @adcouncil.bsky.social,
the CDC, & @nationalcouncil.bsky.social to connect people with real stories and resources.

🗣️ We’ve got to talk about it.

Opinion | A dangerous loophole in farming law is exposing kids to drugs
Congress legalized hemp in 2018. It should rectify unintended consequences for children’s health.

Did you know bystanders are more likely to need naloxone than CPR in an overdose emergency?

Naloxone is safe, effective, and easy to use. Carrying naloxone means being ready to save a life in your community.

Will you pledge to carry naloxone? 👉 shatterproof.org/naloxone-sav... #Naloxone

The truth is that naloxone is safe and effective — just like an EpiPen or an inhaler.

Stigma can keep people from getting care or seeking help — and it can even show up in the way we talk to ourselves. 💙
The words we use matter.

Have you heard of Kratom?

Although it’s a natural substance, the FDA and CDC have issued warnings because it mimics the effects of opioids and comes with a risk of dependence, withdrawal, psychological, neurological and physical effects. (1/2)

While headlines may say overdoses are down, that is not the whole story.

New data shows deep and persistent disparities by age, gender, and geography. While some numbers look better on the surface, 80,000+ lives lost is still unacceptable.

Overdoses Are Down — Crisis is Far From Over
Despite some recent progress, drug overdose deaths in the U.S. remain alarmingly high at about 80,000 per year.

However, vital overdose prevention funding is now at risk. That means fewer tools, fewer lives saved.
