In 2010, less than 1% of fentanyl deaths involved stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine.
By 2021, that rate had jumped to 32% by 2021.
Thankfully, many proven solutions exist that states can employ to help save lives. pewtrsts.org/4oUXRWd #IOAD2025

Naloxone saves lives. 💙
It is available at many pharmacies and community organizations and can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
Carrying naloxone could save the life of a loved one, a friend, or even a stranger.

Overdose takes hundreds of thousands of lives each year. These deaths are preventable — shaped by policies, inequality and stigma.
We honour those lost by fighting regression and building a world where caring responses replace punitive ones.

Every overdose is preventable. We need greater funding for treatment & harm reduction, naloxone for frontline responders & expanded life-saving AOD services.
A compassionate, health-based response saves lives.
