Fentanyl and other synthetic opioids are the leading cause of overdose deaths in the United States. Countless communities are grieving and picking up the pieces of lives and families shattered by loss. We know that recovery from opioids is an incredibly challenging process.

We believe that people deserve the chance for recovery and the only way to do that is to keep them breathing.
