About these resources

The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has made it a priority to address the risks and harms of overdose. Although overdose deaths involving prescription opioids and heroin have decreased, drug overdose deaths involving illegally made fentanyl and stimulants have increased. Several agencies within HHS have joined the effort.
