Too often, the lives claimed by drug overdoses are merely seen as figures in growing statistics, but their loved ones know better. International Overdose Awareness Day gives communities an opportunity to honor lives lost to drug use and a chance to talk openly about the realities of addiction and overdose as well as help people get connected to substance use treatment. If you suspect an overdose, call 911 right away. www.overdoseday.com
