Overdose prevention

Overdose deaths are preventable.  Harm reduction offers evidence-based tools and strategies that reduce the risk of dying from a drug overdose. Almost 200 people die from an overdose every day, which equals 70,000 avoidable deaths every year.

People who use drugs can be supported with information to mitigate the risk of an overdose and to stop an overdose while it’s happening.
