International Overdose Awareness Week

Each August, SAMHSA recognizes Overdose Awareness Week alongside International Overdose Awareness Day, which is August 31, 2024.

Remembering every life that has been impacted by overdose.  In 2023, the CDC released provisional data with an estimated 110,000 lives that were lost to overdose; with fentanyl and other synthetic opioids as the main stay component.  Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery are key points…Join with us in the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose! #noonefightsalone
