#OverdoseAware#EndOverdose
Overdose is not just related to recreational drug use. Millions of prescriptions for opiate based pain medications are dispensed every year. Each of these people are also at risk of an overdose.
#EndOverdose#OverdoseAware
@OverdoseDay provides an opportunity for us to talk about and prevent overdose in our community.
Each year, hundreds of thousands are lost to overdoses. Others survive but suffer permanent injury, with devastating impact to their families and friends. #OverdoseAware#EndOverdose
