Abstract
Qualitative research studies play a crucial role in understanding the experiences and responses of individuals who have experienced an opioid overdose. In this qualitative, thematic study, structured in-depth interviews were conducted with six adults in an Upstate New York inpatient substance use disorder (SUD) facility. Qualitative data were analyzed using an inductive thematic content analysis approach regarding participant’s reflection on what could have been done differently to avert the overdose incident(s), the impact of such experiences on their overall well-being, suggestions on enhancing public education about the risks and consequences of opioid use, and proposed specific resources, programs, and interventions that could effectively prevent overdoses and support individuals in their journey of recovery. Such an analysis informs comprehensive strategies for prevention and support. The study's outcomes offer valuable implications for developing targeted interventions and educational initiatives to address the opioid crisis and promote healthier outcomes for individuals affected by opioid use.
