A LOOK AT OVERDOSE PREVENTION EFFORTS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
CHECK OUT THE MAPSELECT A STATE TO VIEW THEIR PREVENTION EFFORTS
The Overdose Prevention Strategies website was created by the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators, Inc. (NADDI) as an initiative to provide a centralized location for our nations overdose prevention efforts. The website is a compilation of the identifiable overdose prevention related resources in existence within the framework of the nation, and each individual state. The primary focus is on the existing programs, laws, and resources of each individual state as they combat the substance abuse problem within their communities.
NADDI’s attempt to provide a centralized website is meant to be used as a resource tool to streamline efforts for individuals seeking answers. Our goal is to facilitate an approach to the development of a model overdose prevention program that can be used as a unified template across the United States to combat this growing epidemic.

Hi, my name is Lisa McElhaney.
I’m the Chief Operating Officer of the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI®).
The NADDI membership would like to welcome you to one of our favorite initiatives. We hope that you find this resource useful in your search for answers.
The Opioid Epidemic is a significant public health problem that has impacted society on multiple levels for many decades. Directly and indirectly, every community is affected by drug abuse, addiction, and drug poisoning(s). While drug use patterns and trends fluctuate with various applied prevention efforts, we are currently scrambling to find solid solutions to address this rampant epidemic.
The NADDI mission considers the fine art of networking and increasing public awareness to be the strongest tools in our fight against this epidemic. Awareness leads to initiative-taking actions as witnessed by the multitude of efforts around our nation. Imagine what we could accomplish with a strong unified approach.
With this in mind, NADDI has attempted to identify, state by state, the resources and programs that are currently in existence, and ultimately locate the best practices in effect. The goal is to facilitate the approach to the development of a model overdose prevention program. This crucial step can only be accomplished by first identifying the solid multi-faceted tactics that are gaining ground, and then adopting these measures as a complete package.
Phase I of our website launched in June of 2017 and we have edited, updated, and expanded much of our information as our favored initiative has evolved.
As we continue to gather information, we know we may be missing some important resources so please help us to identify the efforts in your community. If you know of any programs or initiatives that would strengthen our website please let us know. Together we have strength and fuel hope for those in need.
