Each year we lose thousands of people from drug overdose.
Some survive but suffer a permanent injury, with devastating impact to their families and friends. Veterans who receive care at VA are not immune to this. You may have seen it happen to people around you. Tomorrow, it could happen to someone you love. This is not an invisible issue.
On International Overdose Awareness Day, August 31st, we ask that you play a role in educating, supporting, and remembering those whose lives have been impacted by overdose. This is part of a global event that aims to raise awareness that overdose death is preventable and reduce the stigma associated with drug-related death. Knowing the real facts about drugs and what to do when you see someone experiencing an overdose DOES save lives.

Time to Remember. Time to Act.
