Addiction Education Resources That Save Lives
Knowledge. Prevention. Hope.
The Good Samaritan Law, S.C. Code Ann. § 15-1-310, protects any person, who in good faith gratuitously renders emergency care, from civil liability arising out of any act or omission by such person in rendering the emergency care or in failing to act or arrange for further medical treatment or care for the victim, except when the acts or omissions amount to gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct.
Similarly, the South Carolina Overdose Prevention Act, S.C. Code Ann. § 44-130-50, protects a caregiver who gives Naloxone to a person whom the caregiver believes in good faith is experiencing an opioid overdose from civil or criminal liability.

The Reality We Face
Every number represents a person, a family, and a community forever changed. Approximately 69,973 people died from drug overdoses in the United States in 2025, 48,824 people died by suicide in 2024, and roughly 11,000–12,000 people lose their lives every year in alcohol-impaired driving crashes. In a single year, 2,918 people were killed as a result of domestic violence, and hundreds of thousands more experience homelessness, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and violence—circumstances that dramatically increase the risk of overdose, untreated illness, trauma, and premature death. These aren't just statistics—they're mothers, fathers, children, friends, neighbors, and loved ones. Many of these deaths and tragedies are preventable through education, compassion, and access to life-saving addiction education resources.
South Carolina is Taking Action
This act was passed to increase access to naloxone (Narcan) and provide legal protection for those who administer it in good faith. It allows first responders and community members to possess and administer naloxone to someone experiencing an opioid overdose without fear of prosecution for practicing medicine without a license. This law is a critical step in reducing overdose deaths by empowering individuals to intervene during a crisis.
Signed into law in 2024, Senate Bill 255 legalized syringe service programs (SSPs) in South Carolina. These programs are evidence-based public health interventions that provide access to sterile syringes, safe disposal of used needles, and connection to healthcare services, including HIV/HCV testing and substance use disorder treatment. SSPs are proven to reduce the spread of infectious diseases and decrease overdose deaths, making them a vital part of South Carolina's public health strategy.
