This resolution highlights the severe impact of the opioid crisis, noting an estimated 69,973 drug overdose deaths in 2025 and emphasizing that substance use disorder affects all demographics, with disproportionate impacts on Black and American Indian or Alaskan Native populations. It underscores that substance use disorder is a chronic, preventable disease and that overdose deaths can be averted through increased awareness, effective prevention, timely intervention, comprehensive treatment, and robust recovery support. The House of Representatives officially recognizes Overdose Awareness Day in the United States. It commits to advancing and passing bipartisan policies designed to reduce the stigma surrounding substance use disorders and overdoses. The resolution also dedicates the House to collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders, including States, localities, businesses, and healthcare providers, to establish a comprehensive system that promotes prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery from opioid use disorder.
