Project Lazarus

Project Lazarus

Project Lazarus believes that communities are ultimately responsible for their own health and that every drug overdose is preventable. We are a secular, non-profit organization that provides technical assistance to community groups and clinicians throughout North Carolina and beyond. Using experience, data, and compassion we empower communities and individuals to prevent drug overdoses and meet the needs of those living with chronic pain.
