Tomorrow, August 31, is International Overdose Awareness Day. Join IDHS in raising awareness about substance use, recovery, and overdose prevention. “On International Overdose Awareness Day, we come together to remember and honor the people we have lost to substance use overdose and those that an overdose has impacted. On this day, we will stand in solidarity with families and communities as they mourn the loss of their fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, family members, and friends. In addition, we will highlight and fight the stigma that contributes to an overdose and instead instill the hope that recovery happens. An overdose is preventable, and people who have a substance use disorder deserve the same care and respect as anyone else,” said Laura Garcia, LPC, MAAPS, CADC, Director of IDHS Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery.
