Truth Pharm is working to raise awareness and reduce the stigma associated with substance use disorders, and advocating for policy change to improve treatment options. Overdose rates have quadrupled in 10 years.  "Nationwide, we lost 64,000 people to an overdose.  As of 2016, overdose is the leading cause of death for anyone 50 and under.  This epidemic has surpassed the AIDS epidemic. In Broome County in 2017 we lost 66 people to an overdose - more than one per week. Broome County has both the highest overdose rate in the state as well as the highest incarceration rate. We feel incarceration is the wrong approach.” Truth Pharm's mission is to raise awareness, reduce the stigma, educate the public and advocate for policy change to reduce the harms caused by substance use. We are not an 'anti-drug' organization, we're an anti-death and anti-harm organization. ————— THE WORKOUTS - ***First 3 Events will be announced by 9/30/18.  Hints on Event 4 will be released on 10/15.  Complete details for Event 4 will be announced on the day of competition after Event 3 is completed!
