Approximately 107,500 Americans died from a drug overdose in 2023 according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, marking a decrease for the first time in five years, but the third-straight year where overdose deaths have surpassed 100,000. This International Overdose Awareness Day, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the tools and resources available to help support those in your community who may be struggling with a substance use disorder. #OpioidCrisis #IOAD2024
