Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. ![]()
Thanks to Emilie's mom for this collection of beautiful faces...sons, daughters, grandchildren, siblings gone too soon.![]()
Stigma often tempts us to judge...without first opening our minds to those who suffer substance use disorders (SUD). Be brave - look in the eyes of these always and forever loved family members.![]()

Often I hear comments like: "If there is so much junk in drugs sold on the streets, why do people keep buying it?"![]()
If only love was enough to save lives; if only information was enough to save lives...![]()
The assumptions due to ignorance of substance use disorders (SUD) result in such questions.

Please take note of this change regarding improved access to naloxone - an overdose reversal product! Some states still limit access or have barriers in place that deter those who need access from obtaining it. ![]()
This is a significant upgrade across the US - to reduce the potential for loss of life due to an opioid overdose. As with most changes, some aspects require time to eliminate existing barriers. Soon enough the US will follow the long time available OTC offered in other countries around the globe.![]()
