Black overdose deaths rose roughly 40% from 2019 to 2022 per CDC NVSS, the fastest-rising drug-overdose mortality of any U.S. demographic. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, is the evidence-based standard of care. FQHC-based MAT addresses access barriers that disproportionately affect Black patients (DEA-waivered prescribers are more concentrated in low-income areas via FQHCs).
