Too many Americans have died from opioid overdoses. That’s why I announced the bipartisan HOPE Act co-led with @RepMcDowell at the 4th Annual Congressional Naloxone Training hosted by @ActionForOD to ensure naloxone is available in public places & save lives.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, and we're pausing to remember those lost to overdose. We're also reflecting on why we advocate — because every overdose is preventable, and the U.S. needs federal policies that help #endoverdose. #iOAD2024

More than 100,000 Americans die from an overdose each year. Each death was preventable, and every person lost to the overdose crisis leaves behind a grieving family and community. This #iOAD2024, we're advocating for federal policies that can save lives and help #endoverdose.

In 2022, over 25,000 people died from an overdose upon release from incarceration. The #SUPPORTAct, the #ReentryAct, and Due Process Continuity of Care Act would grant flexibility for Medicaid-eligible individuals to receive addiction treatment that can save their lives.

📊 In 2022, only 25 percent of U.S. adults needing #OUD treatment received medications, per a new @CDCgov report. We need accessible treatment for everyone. It's time to close the healthcare gap once and for all. #HealthcareAccess cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

The @CMSGov approved waivers in IL, KY, OR, UT and VT for seamless healthcare coverage post-release from carceral facilities. Congress must pass the #ReentryAct so all states can provide treatment in jails/prisons! cms.gov/newsroom/press…

Shout out to our advocates! Our team led workshops last month—with @FACESandVOICES and @BloombergDotOrg—equipping advocates of all levels with strategies to influence policy to #endoverdose. We're excited about the important work ahead, and to continue alongside our partners.

Thank you to Senators Scott and Markey for recognizing today as #NationalNaloxoneAwarenessDay. We applaud Congress’s continued commitment to increasing awareness about this lifesaving medication and we encourage further policies to ensure Naloxone is accessible to all Americans.

"Enacting these laws and policies will require a groundswell of support from both the public and lawmakers, but that won’t happen if Americans are unaware of the overdose crisis’s disproportionate impact on Black communities." Read Dr. Jerome Adams' full op-ed here:
