Welcome to the Overdose Prevention Strategies website!
The National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators, Inc. (NADDI®) is proud to partner with so many wonderful stakeholders.
NADDI is a unique 501(c)3 nationwide training and membership organization that was established in 1989. Initially, our members primary focus of responsibility was investigating and prosecuting incidents of pharmaceutical drug diversion, but as the organization has grown, so has our mission. Providing awareness and education to all our communities is our strength.
This website is a unique NADDI Initiative provided to assist individuals in their search for assistance and answers for the ongoing Drug and Mental Health Crisis which is occurring in neighborhoods across the United States. The website was initiated in 2017 as a valuable resource tool and has been updated on a routine basis as added information is received. Networking is a key element in the NADDI mission!
NADDI has proven to be an asset to law enforcement, health regulatory personnel, and community coalitions by facilitating working partnerships that bring necessary resources to the diverse areas of drug misuse and abuse. While our efforts have made significant impacts in numerous areas across the U.S., the evidence of the increasing opioid overdose crisis illustrates that we need to focus on a more comprehensive approach.
During our mission, we routinely encounter varied stakeholders at all levels that are making diligent strides to combat this burgeoning public health crisis. At the same time NADDI is challenged to identify the most effective measures in existence. While it is obvious that no single measure can resolve the problems we face, we have come to realize that the diversity of techniques utilized across the United States may possibly be hindering many successful programs. It is the existing fragmented approach that pushes many core issues from one area to the next. If the problems cannot be contained, how can they be solved?
With this in mind, NADDI has attempted to identify, state by state, the resources and programs that are currently in existence, and ultimately locate the best practices in effect. The goal is to facilitate the approach to the development of a model overdose prevention program. This crucial step can only be accomplished by first identifying the solid multi-faceted tactics that are gaining ground, and then adopting these measures as a complete package.
Please help us to identify the efforts in your community. Together we have strength and fuel hope for those in need.
