Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death for adults in Rhode Island, claiming multiple lives each week.
Opioid overdose, involving both prescription pain medications and illicit drugs, is an issue that impacts all RI residents, regardless of socio-economic status, race, age or gender.
Most overdose fatalities are preventable if bystanders and first responders have appropriate training and are prepared to respond in an effective manner.
This curriculum is designed to prepare individuals to recognize and respond to an overdose.
