It’s International Overdose Awareness Day

Every seven hours, someone dies of a drug overdose in New York City, and more New Yorkers die from drug overdoses than from homicides, suicides and car crashes combined. These deaths are preventable.

The medication naloxone can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. All New Yorkers can receive free training to carry and use naloxone. 

Together we can #EndOverdose.
