Why Is Harm Reduction Needed?

The U.S. is currently experiencing the MOST SIGNIFICANT substance abuse and overdose deaths it has ever faced. The epidemic is believed to be exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 worldwide pandemic and driven by the rapid increase of HIGHLY potent synthetic opioids (Fentanyl) and horse tranquilizers (Xylazine) into MANY types of drugs, like stimulants (Crack, Cocaine, and Methamphetamines) and counterfeit prescription pills.

In 2022, there were more than 100,000 overdose deaths.
