The Alabama Department of Mental Health, in partnership with OpioidsTake, brought statewide attention to National Opioid Awareness Day on Sept. 21.

Overdose deaths in Alabama fell 30% from 2024 to 2025, according to provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, thanks to the efforts of the Oversight Commission on Alabama Opioid Settlement Funds, state agencies and dedicated community providers and partners.
