Keeping People Alive Long Enough to Recover
Overdose prevention is a critical part of addressing the opioid crisis. Harm reduction strategies save lives and create opportunities for connection to treatment and recovery services.

Naloxone distribution programs have reduced overdose deaths by up to 50 percent in some communities. Widespread access makes immediate intervention possible.

REACH Impact Institute views harm reduction as a pathway, not an endpoint. Keeping people alive allows time for treatment engagement and long-term recovery.
A Life-Saving Strategy
Overdose prevention reduces deaths, lowers healthcare costs, and strengthens community safety while supporting recovery pathways.
