Supporting Providers After Drug Overdose Death.

Substance use disorders are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, including deaths due to drug overdose (1, 2). In 2016, 63,632 individuals in the United States died of drug overdose, which brought the total number of drug overdose deaths between 1999 and 2016 to 632,331 (3). Since the majority of drug overdoses involve opioids, a key component of the public health response to the opioid epidemic has been to increase access to evidencebased treatments for opioid use disorder (4).
