“No matter why you use, your life matters. Hope and help are here.”
Rhode Island paid media campaign launched October 16, 2025 by EOHHS, BHDDH, the Office of Healthy Aging and RIDOH to prevent overdose deaths among adults aged 45 to 64+, whose overdose death rates were about double the state rate in 2024. Portrait-style imagery and first-person lines acknowledge people use for pain, isolation, trauma or anxiety ("No matter why you use, your life matters. Hope and help are here.") on social, display, local and streaming radio and gas-pump TV, placed using RIDOH overdose heat maps, driving to PreventOverdoseRI.org.
