Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.
For 25 years, IOAD has brought people together to remember people who have died from overdose, support families and communities affected by loss, and take action to help prevent overdose.
This year's theme, "25 Years On. Still Needed.", reminds us that behind every statistic is a person — someone loved, valued, and missed.
CDC's continued call to action is: Still Needed. Still Acting. Still Saving Lives.
Remember. Support. Prevent.
