As the unregulated drug supply becomes increasingly unpredictable, new combinations of synthetic substances are making overdoses more difficult to prevent and treat.

Through firsthand accounts and expert perspectives, this resource explores how a rapidly changing drug supply is reshaping the overdose crisis and reinforcing the importance of harm reduction, education, and timely access to care.
