Welcome to the Choose Life Over Addiction resource page. A COSSUP Initiative - Empowering Change, Saving Lives.
The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, in partnership with COX Communications, is proud to launch the Choose Life Over Addiction campaign. This public awareness effort—modeled after the successful Gun Safety Saves Lives initiative—aims to confront the opioid crisis head-on by providing life-saving information, promoting prevention, and connecting individuals and families with critical support. Together, we can reduce opioid addiction, prevent overdose deaths, and help Arizonans reclaim their lives.
