Experience can
become a lifeline.

Surviving Fentanyl exists to help individuals, families, and communities affected by fentanyl and opioid use move toward safety, connection, treatment, and recovery. Through lived experience, peer-informed support, overdose-prevention education, naloxone access, recovery navigation, and community partnerships, we work to reduce overdose deaths, break stigma, and make sure no one has to navigate addiction or recovery alone.

04 / About Surviving Fentanyl

From surviving
to showing up.

Surviving Fentanyl was created from lived experience with addiction, loss, and recovery. That experience is the foundation for a simple commitment: meet people with dignity, connect them with real resources, and remind them that another life is possible.

We're building a Washington-rooted organization around overdose prevention, peer-informed support, and community connection.

Where we are today

Surviving Fentanyl is developing toward nonprofit/501(c)(3) status and is not currently IRS-recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization.

Board & organizational development
