Each year, too many people around the world are lost to overdoses. Others survive but suffer permanent injury, with deep heartbreak to those who love them.

Cape Girardeau is not immune. International Overdose Awareness Day is a time to think and talk about the impact of drugs in our backyard.

Knowing the facts and what to do when you see someone experiencing an overdose saves lives. For example, in the U.S. overdose deaths from opioids dropped in 2024, but they still account for nearly 68% of all overdose fatalities (CDC).

If you or a loved one struggles with opioid use, do you have Naloxone handy? Learn about it 👇 https://tinyurl.com/cgcphc-narcansaveslives
