Rx and Illicit Drug Summit
The Rx and Illicit Drug Summit is where solutions are formulated, stakeholders from Federal to family convene, and change begins. It is the most influential annual gathering for stakeholders to discuss what is working in prevention, treatment, and law enforcement. It is where connections are made, strategies are shared, and hope continues.
Rediscover Hope
As we continue to be challenged by the increase of overdoses and deaths taking place throughout our communities, it could be easy to lose sight of hope. But by working together to share the most effective strategies for prevention, treatment, and recovery, we stay strong in our belief that we can and we will put an end to this epidemic.

Hope Ambassadors
Hope Ambassadors embody the “why” behind the Rx Drug Abuse & Heroin Summit. It is an opportunity to share the message of hope – that it is possible to recover from addiction.
The Hope Ambassadors program, created in 2023, highlights the stories of people in recovery and those who have influenced the recovery journey of others. These men and women have struggled with the disease of addiction and now, as Hope Ambassadors, they are inspiring others to join with them on their recovery journey.
There are many forms of recovery, and there are many people who play key roles in making it possible. The work we do at the Rx Summit through sessions, workshops, and networking gives our community the power to create more stories of recovery and thus a stronger sense of hope.
