The Overdose Picture in Arizona and Maricopa County

Nationally, drug overdose deaths have fallen for three straight years. Arizona has been an exception, with deaths rising in 2025 while most of the country kept declining. Chandler is one of only six cities in Maricopa County that the county health department tracks with its own fatal-overdose dashboard, so the local picture here is followed closely.

Figures are national and state-level. The county health department publishes a Chandler-specific fatal-overdose dashboard that tracks local deaths by year and substance.

Beyond Meetings: Treatment Near Chandler

NA works well alongside professional treatment, and many people participate in both. Care is usually described in levels, from medically supervised detox through residential and outpatient programs. The right starting point depends on your situation. Chandler and the surrounding East Valley have a wide range of treatment options, including opioid treatment programs, detox facilities, and outpatient clinics.

For opioid use disorder, medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone are the evidence-based standard of care. They reduce cravings and lower the risk of overdose, and they are fully compatible with attending NA.

To find nearby options, search FindTreatment.gov by ZIP code, or call the free, confidential SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357, available 24 hours a day. Our guide to addiction treatment, including detox, therapy, and medication covers the options.

Overdose Prevention and Naloxone

Naloxone, often sold as Narcan, can reverse an opioid overdose within minutes and is safe to keep on hand. Our overdose prevention guide covers how to recognize and respond to one. Arizona’s Good Samaritan Law (A.R.S. § 13-3423) protects anyone who calls for help in good faith during an overdose

In Arizona you do not need a prescription to obtain naloxone. A statewide standing order lets any pharmacist dispense it, and it is also sold over the counter. You can get it free through participating pharmacies listed by Stop Overdose Deaths Arizona, by mail from Sonoran Prevention Works, or in person from Shot in the Dark in Maricopa County.
