ALL HANDS ON DECK.
End overdoses.
Stop stigma.
Support healing.
We have all been impacted by substance use disorder.
Whether we’ve suffered ourselves, lost family members and friends, or felt our communities in mourning - the effect of substance use disorder is inescapable. But, through solutions that prevent and treat the condition and support recovery, substance use disorder is not inevitable.
End Substance Use Disorder unites coalitions of people and families personally affected by the overdose crisis, health care and behavioral health providers, Veterans, law enforcement professionals and first responders, faith-based leaders, recovery and harm reduction specialists, social justice advocates, payers, and public health experts who are coming together to solve the substance use disorder crisis. Together, we represent and serve millions of Americans.
We educate and advocate for safety, belonging, and equality.
Through education and effective legislation, we are working to shift the paradigm to show substance use disorder as a preventable and treatable medical condition, not a personal choice or moral failing.
Science-based.
End Substance Use Disorder pursues only policies that scientists and public health experts recommend.
No industry influence.
End Substance Use Disorder does not take donations from drug companies or treatment facilities.
Lived experience.
End Substance Use Disorder harnesses the perspective of people with substance use disorder and their loved ones.
We have a clear plan to end substance use disorder.
If unaddressed, overdoses and substance use disorder will continue to devastate our families and communities.
Thankfully, we know the solutions that can save countless lives.
Our 3-part policy agenda ensures people with substance use disorder will receive the healthcare and support they need to get better.
