Opioid Prevention

More than five people die every day from opioid overdoses in Arizona.

Prescription opioids and illegal opioids like counterfeit pills with fentanyl are addictive and can be deadly. In 2017, a statewide public health emergency was issued in an effort to reduce opioid deaths. We continue to collect opioid data and take action to address the ongoing opioid crisis in our state.
