Summary
Recognize Overdose Awareness Day. This resolution would formally recognize Overdose Awareness Day and urge Congress to advance bipartisan policies that reduce stigma around substance use disorder. It cites provisional CDC data estimating 69,973 drug overdose deaths in 2025 and highlights higher overdose death rates for Black and American Indian or Alaska Native people compared with White people. The text frames substance use disorder as a chronic disease and calls for multi-sector collaboration to promote prevention, timely treatment, harm reduction, and recovery supports.
