Supporting Recovery and Preventing Overdose

Every year on August 31, communities around the world observe International Overdose Awareness Day. The day honors people who have lost their lives to overdose and raises awareness about substance use, prevention, and recovery.

Drug overdose remains a serious public health issue. In 2021, more than 7,800 people in Florida died from drug-induced overdoses. These deaths affected families, friends, and communities across the state.

International Overdose Awareness Day encourages people to:

Learn about overdose prevention
Talk openly about substance use and recovery
Reduce stigma around addiction
Support access to treatment and recovery services
Remember those who have been lost
