31 August is International Overdose Awareness Day. We remember the loved ones we have lost, and we strive to create awareness of how having an open conversation about overdose is crucial to #EndOverdose.
It's important we learn about overdose prevention and the steps we can take to save lives in the event of an overdose.
All drugs can cause an overdose, including prescription medication prescribed by a doctor. It is important to know the right amount and the right time to take your medication. It is also vital to know what drugs should not be mixed and to seek help if you feel you are not in control of your drug use.
EDAS provides Naloxone and other harm minimisation resources to help prevent drug overdose. Visit us or call us 01202 735777 to collect a free naloxone kit. Our team will make sure you receive the support you need.
