North Carolina saw the biggest drop in the nation for #overdose deaths, upwards 24.5 percent during a 12 month span, but federal funding cuts and statewide slashes to #Medicaid could undo this progress. @TheAssemblyNC #overdoseprevention #opioidcrisis tinyurl.com/3c64hmmv
"Recovery is hard, but with the right treatment it is possible. And this begins with a conversation, a listening ear and showing we care." We couldn't agree more. #overdoseprevention
Proud to be Patron of the Forward Trust this Addiction Awareness Week. Addiction is not a choice, or a personal failing, but a complex mental health condition that should be met with empathy and support.
Kudos to New York for signing into law S.3416/A.5892 — now providers in NY can dispense a 3-day supply of addiction treatment medication, a major step to close access gaps and save lives. Thank you to @GovKathyHochull and advocates! #OverdosePrevention tinyurl.com/55xft4un
Big step forward in PA: the FY 2025-26 budget (Act 45 of 2025) expands access to FDA-approved medications for #opioid and alcohol use disorders in #justice settings — including buprenorphine and methadone in county jails. #OverdosePrevention #MOUD tinyurl.com/2jkyu8b8
#Medicare telehealth flexibilities extended only through Jan 30 2026. After that, most services require patients to be in a medical facility and rural area—except behavioral health. #telehealth @CMSGov tinyurl.com/2t49v4hx
Nearly 7 in 10 #Medicaid enrollees newly diagnosed with #OUD do not receive medication treatment within six months — that gap is a matter of life or death. @tandfonline tinyurl.com/ycysnbjs
Safety hinges on access to naloxone in high-need zones—no longer optional, urgent. #HarmReduction #OverdosePrevention tinyurl.com/fer5wxdk
A new proposed bill in Florida would decriminalize #fentanyl and #xylazine test strips along with other drug-checking tools. This evidence based step expands harm reduction and helps prevent deaths. @michellesalzman @FloridaGOP tinyurl.com/mrn4m68
Rural communities face the highest overdose death rates in the country, yet the fewest treatment options. On #NationalRuralHealthDay we highlight a recent @NCUIH_Official congressional briefing that confronted this gap and outlined real policy fixes. tinyurl.com/4prz6mp7
'Our lack of understanding paralyzes our ability to get in front of the supply.' The rise of powerful synthetics like #nitazenes is happening beneath our radar because many ME/C offices can’t detect them. @TIME #overdoseprevention tinyurl.com/3ef49y5u
New momentum for treatment access; strengthening bipartisan backing to keep #Medicaid coverage active during incarceration. Moving us closer to reducing overdose risk after release and building safer, healthier communities. Thank you @Rep_Walkinshaw and @RepBynum!
New study reports youth ages 13–26 who stayed on #buprenorphine for 12 months had about half the risk of #opioid overdose hospitalization compared to those who stopped early. Early discontinuation is common, consistent treatment saves lives. tinyurl.com/ym3afvtb
Families in West Virginia are turning pain into purpose — by placing billboards featuring loved ones lost to #overdose. Their aim: sharpen public awareness of addiction, reduce #stigma, and push for empathy-based change. tinyurl.com/48fwey5y
PA’s new bill expands the jail treatment grant program to include all FDA-approved meds for SUD, not just naltrexone. Giving counties the flexibility they need to provide evidence-based care and reduce recidivism. 👏Life-saving progress for PA communities. tinyurl.com/eukz32hj
Proposed cuts to housing support from @HUDgov risk worsening #overdose outcomes. Housing instability increases overdose and relapse rates. We must protect permanent supportive housing—not reduce it to transitional models that undercut long-term recovery. tinyurl.com/kj4rjbyh
OPCs save lives with #MOUD, #naloxone, housing support and treatment. The @SafehousePhilly case shows a core problem: a statute built from 1980 still governs today’s overdose response. Modern public health needs modern law. tinyurl.com/bddm9pd5
The overdose crisis is changing—and so are the solutions. Our new Substack brings you stories, data, and action from the frontlines of #overdose prevention. Real people. Real policy. Real progress. Subscribe to stay ahead of the movement. tinyurl.com/3w4umrsw
This #VeteransDay, we honor those who served and remember too many still fighting at home. >Overdose deaths among veterans rose 53% since 2010; 93% involve #opioids. >Homeless vets face 10× higher risk. No one who served should be lost to a preventable overdose. #EndOverdose
Applauding bipartisan momentum for recovery and second chances. Grateful to @RepGwenMoore, @SummerForPA,@RepNickBegich,@RepShriThanedar, and @RepJillTokuda for joining as co-sponsors of the #ReentryAct—helping ensure people leaving incarceration stay connected to lifesaving care.
