OUR MISSION: To use our united voices in a call for immediate, comprehensive and sustained Federal action to end the opioid addiction epidemic.
OUR VISION: A world where opioids are prescribed cautiously and those with opioid addiction have easy access to effective treatment and recovery services.

  • This is the worst drug addiction epidemic in American history. More than 400,000 Americans have died from opioid overdoses since 1999.
  • The epidemic was caused by overprescribing of opioids. As prescriptions soared, addiction and overdose deaths among both pain patients and nonmedical users increased in lockstep.
  • The Federal Government’s efforts to combat the epidemic are uncoordinated and underfunded.
  • The death toll will continue to mount until effective treatment is easier to access than heroin, fentanyl and opioid painkillers
