through the Etheridge Foundation
Our Mission
The Etheridge Foundation advances transformative new treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD) through two pillars: advocacy and supporting groundbreaking research.
We help to fund studies on plant medicine and psychedelic therapies for OUD that use an integrated understanding of factors such as mental health issues, trauma, and chronic pain.
We’re working to increase the kinds of treatment resources available for people with OUD so that they can access the support they need for true healing.
Our ultimate goal is safe, legal, and equitable access to effective new treatments for all who could benefit.

“This is an epidemic. We lose over 150,000 people a year to opioid addiction. One thing that helped me heal was starting the Etheridge Foundation.”
