International Overdose Awareness Day is a global event held on 31 August each year that aims to raise awareness of overdose and reduce the stigma of drug-related death. Here in Charlotte County, we have seen a rise in the number of individuals who have experienced an overdose. Some of these overdoses have unfortunately resulted in death.
