For the first time in years, the U.S. has seen a major drop in overdose deaths — according to 2024 CDC data, there was a 27% decrease from the previous year.
This decline demonstrates what’s possible when prevention, education, treatment, and policy come together — the very areas your support helps us strengthen every day. While this decrease gives us hope, we must continue working to reduce these numbers.
Can you support our mission during this important time?
At Partnership to End Addiction, we know the work we're doing is making a measurable difference. Every day, we focus on...
Educating families and schools to prevent early substance use by teens — delaying first use remains one of the most effective forms of reducing risk.
Training clinicians and growing our research in family involvement in addiction treatment — ensuring more people receive care that is evidence-based and effective.
Expanding access to educational resources for parents and caregivers — helping them understand the signs of substance use and the tools to intervene early.
Advocating for policy change that ensures these solutions are sustainable and treatment is accessible to every family.
This drop in overdose deaths is promising, but the need remains urgent. We must continue to move in a direction that makes recovery possible for more people.
