7/27 8:30 AM CST - Addressing Substance Use Disorders in Our Communities

June 23, 2022 12:16 PM | Anonymous


Overdoses are the #1 cause of accidental deaths in America. According to the CDC, there were over 107,000 fatal overdoses in the U.S. in 2021. This epidemic has only gotten worse during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to overdose-related deaths, more than 175,000 deaths in the U.S. can be attributed to the use of alcohol and other drugs. This makes substance use the third largest cause of death in the nation.

Leveraging our expertise in public health outreach and culturally competent care, WellShare is providing immediate community-based mental health intervention to address trauma recovery, substance abuse, and the increasing frequency and severity of mental health distress.
