The Biden-Harris administration announced it is putting more than $1.5 billion toward State and Tribal Opioid Response funding. Through the Biden-Harris Administration, Ohio is eligible to apply for more than $100 million in funding this fiscal year. This can go to harm reduction, prevention efforts and Naloxone and other opioid overdose reversal medications.
Overdose deaths have been on a steady decline the past few years. According to Harm Reduction Ohio, Ohio saw a 6% decline in overdose deaths last year compared to the numbers it reported in 2022, with most of the impact seen in the second half of the year. Narcan became available over the counter in the middle of last year, and more state funding went toward prevention efforts.
