Substance Use
Overdose has become a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States.
The National Council is actively engaged in addressing the overdose epidemic, fostering the use of evidence-based harm reduction, overdose prevention and opioid use disorder treatment in community, criminal justice and health care settings. We combine know-how from research, advocacy, policy and practice into projects that promote innovation across the continuum of substance use prevention, treatment and recovery.
