Drug overdoses have overtaken automobile accidents as the leading cause of accidental death in the United States. Although most overdoses occur in the presence of others, fear of arrest and prosecution prevents many people from calling 911. Tennessee's Addiction Treatment Act of 2015 protects victims and callers seeking medical assistance at drug or alcohol overdose scenes.
Our message is simple: Don't Run - Call 911!
