In light of the changing public health situation around COVID-19, the Rx Summit will be held virtually.

There is no single solution to the opioid crisis. Over the years, Abt has taken action to help federal, state, and local agencies and other stakeholders prevent opioid misuse, recognizing that partnerships and collaborations are critical if we are to save lives. We approach the opioid epidemic with a multidisciplinary lens, using rigorous methods and data analysis to connect the evidence and help our clients develop effective, sustainable solutions.
