New data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health show that opioid-related overdose deaths fell below 1,000 in 2025 for the first time in more than a decade. While this progress is encouraging and reflects the impact of prevention, treatment, recovery supports, and harm reduction efforts, there is still important work ahead.

At the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts (BIA-MA), we also want to highlight an often-overlooked consequence of overdose: brain injury.

When an overdose causes a person to stop breathing or significantly reduces oxygen to the brain, it can result in a hypoxic or anoxic brain injury. Even when an overdose is not fatal, the loss of oxygen can lead to lasting challenges with memory, attention, decision-making, emotional regulation, behavior, and physical functioning.

As overdose prevention efforts save more lives, it is critical that healthcare providers, treatment programs, recovery services, families, and communities recognize that some survivors may also be living with the effects of a brain injury and may need specialized supports to achieve successful recovery.

Every life saved matters. Every recovery journey matters. And every person deserves access to the services and supports they need to live well after an overdose.
