The reason this epidemic is so deadly
Short-term, Narcan (naloxone) spray can reverse an opioid overdose and save lives
Intermediate-term, more substance use disorder medication treatment services are needed
Intermediate-term, more substance use disorder crisis and care coordination services are needed
Health consequences of drug misuse affect both mental and physical health
Relationship between untreated substance abuse disorders and suicide
Suicide is the top cause of death in young people, ages 15-29
