Hey there,
I’m Adam, the verification specialist for RehabAid.com, a site dedicated to helping those in need who are struggling with addiction, and I came across a page on your site: (https://bradmersereau.com/recovery-resources/) that links to: https://www.addictioncenter.com/treatment/inpatient-rehab/.
Over the last 6 months, RehabAid’s research team has developed the most accurate and useful state-by-state interactive drug overdose map available online. Our mission is to bring awareness to the severity of the nation’s drug crisis. We believe that understanding the depth of the problem is the first step to solving it.
Not only does our map include detailed overdose information for all 50 states, but it also includes a slider so that visitors can see changes and trends through the last 20 years for which this information is available (1999-2019).
You can help more people see this important resource by including a link to it on this page or elsewhere on your site. Please also reach out if you have any suggestions for improving it!
The URL for linking to our map is https://rehabaid.com/overdose-statistics/. Would you please include a link to this resource on your page? If there’s anything I can do to help, please let me know.
Thanks,
Adam Buchholz

Hi again,
I’m writing because I haven’t heard back from you yet and wanted to follow up. Have you had a chance to look at our interactive overdose map yet? I’d love to hear any feedback you have on it.
While it does paint a somewhat bleak picture of the USA’s addiction struggles across the past few decades, we think that it is tremendously important that this information is seen. For instance, did you know that in the past two decades, yearly deaths from drug overdose have nearly quadrupled?
We believe the layout and ease of use of our interactive map makes this information more accessible and impactful. I would really appreciate it if you included a link to it on your site.
Thanks,
Adam Buchholz

Hello Adam,
We will add links to your interactive overdose map RehabAid.com with our August updates. Our mission honoring my sister Laura’s memory supports addiction prevention and recovery, so I would appreciate your adding a link to our Sobriety Pledge https://bradmersereau.com/lauras-sobriety-pledge/ and Sobriety Anniversary webpages https://bradmersereau.com/sobriety-anniversary/
414 proactive teens honor mind, body and spirit without drugs or alcohol before their 21st birthdays, thus significantly limiting possibility for later addiction. 1125 champions celebrate 24,264 clean & sober years.
Kindly notify me if you plan to do so.
We’re in this together!
Brad
