The unregulated toxic drug crisis continues to be an urgent health issue in North America. Many families of people who use drugs have been significantly impacted by this issue. In addition to the thousands of North Americans who have been bereaved by drug mortality, many families are providing unpaid care to bridge gaps in services while navigating the grief and stress associated with caring for a loved one amidst a heavily politicized and rapidly changing context. Despite the impact on families, few interventions are in place to lessen the burden of the crisis. This commentary presents a call to action to include families of people who use drugs in a public health response to the toxic drug crisis. We emphasize the need for (1) the consideration and involvement of families in all aspects of policy and program decision making, (2) the recognition of families of people who use drugs within national caregiving and bereavement strategies; (3) increased supports and services for families; and (4) additional research and public health monitoring on the impact of the toxic drug crisis on families
