HELP STOP THE NEEDLESS EPIDEMIC OF OVERDOSE DEATHS

The Fentanyl Epidemic

“Fentanyl is the single deadliest drug threat our nation has ever encountered. [It’s] everywhere. From large metropolitan areas to rural America, no community is safe from this poison. We must take every opportunity to spread the word to prevent fentanyl-related overdose death and poisonings from claiming scores of American lives every day.”

Making An Impact at N.O.P.E.

Primary Prevention

Prevention is critical to reducing overdoses and overdose deaths. Knowledge is crucial. Our goal is to change the culture for substance use through immersion-based education solutions to help younger generations navigate through the pressures and challenges of life that lead to substance abuse. Our science-based programs leverage the latest technologies and leading specialists.

Spreading Harm Reduction

It is our goal to expand access for all to harm reduction tools such as Narcan, a.k.a. Naloxone. N.O.P.E. provides access to Narcan and similar opioid antagonists as well as a certification training to help save lives from opioid overdose.

Evidence-Based Treatment

Evidence-based treatments for substance use disorders can reduce substance use, related health harms and overdose deaths. N.O.P.E. is developing post-treatment educational programs leveraging virtual reality that will help support these individuals suffering from substance abuse and its ongoing challenges.

Our ROLE

N.O.P.E. is assembling a team of experts to create Immersive VR Learning Programs for teens. These programs will be designed to support different age and socioeconomic backgrounds and toward decision-making challenges related to substance use. These programs will mimic real-life peer pressure situations that provoke responsible choices and result in safer, healthier lifestyles for generations to come.

N.O.P.E.’s Mission

Our goal is to change the culture for substance use in the United States by spreading opiod crisis awareness and creating new educational programs leveraging science-based technology.

Trends in U.S. Drug Overdose Deaths (1999–2021)

“Selecting a town like Port Orchard, 28 miles northwest of Tacoma, is indicative of a key [cartel] strategy to reach its tentacles deep into small, unexpected corners of America.

‘They chose places that may not have a large law enforcement presence, and places people wouldn’t expect cartels to be operating in — in the beautiful community of Port Orchard on the water,’ said Tessa Gorman, acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington, headquartered in Seattle.”

-“FENTANYL IS IN SMALL UNSUSPECTING COMMUNITIES ACROSS OUR NATION,” USA Today, February 12, 2024

“…In [the first nine months of] 2023, DEA has seized more than 65 million fake pills and 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder,” said DEA Chief of Operations William Kimbell during testimony before the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control. “That’s approximately 300 million deadly doses of fentanyl taken off America’s streets.” The seizures of fentanyl within the country…were already more than the total seized in all of 2022.
