Register now for Understanding Overdose Risk and Medication Efficacy, a new JCOIN e-course created by the Addiction Policy Forum in partnership with the Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center. The CSG Justice Center is a national, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that combines the power of a membership association with policy and research expertise to develop strategies that increase public safety and strengthen communities.
State and local leaders play a critical role in reducing overdose deaths and promoting evidence-based practices to treat people with substance use disorders (SUD) in their communities.
