In February 2022 the National Drug Helpline placed North Carolina on red alert for increased risks of deaths from overdose of opioid and other drugs along with 27 other states. To counteract the growing crisis, one of the many recommendations from the American Medical Association (AMA) urged state governors to take actions through implementing harm reduction strategies.
