Zero Unintentional Deaths Campaign

The mission of the Zero Unintentional Deaths Campaign is to educate physicians, chronic pain sufferers, and all communities about the increasingly serious issue of unintentional overdose deaths with methadone and other prescription medications; to create an emphasis on educating physicians of appropriate methods in prescribing opioid (narcotic) medications; to conduct the necessary research to find solutions to the problem without compromising access to pain therapy by limiting the availability of these powerful and necessary medications; and to ultimately reach the goal of Zero Unintentional Deaths.
