Helping America Reduce Methadone Deaths

HARMD® (Helping America Reduce Methadone Deaths), is a non-profit organization founded by surviving family members of loved ones lost to methadone. Our objective is to decrease opiate-related addiction, injury, and death.



Our mission is to …



·        improve assessment, prescribing, dosing, and administration requirements for all methadone-related therapies, while insuring quality of care

·        enhance education regarding “safe use”, potential dangers, and interactions of methadone and therapeutic equivalents

·        lobby for more stringent regulation, management, and monitoring of all methadone-related therapies

·        promote stricter laws, tougher consequences, and harsher penalties for opiate diversion to preserve community safety
