August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day, a global event that aims to raise awareness that overdose death is preventable and to reduce the stigma associated with drug-related death.
Overdose death is preventable. It begins with understanding the risks and signs of overdose, and most importantly, equipping one’s self with lifesaving naloxone.
