"CDC is addressing the ongoing opioid overdose epidemic by working with communities to improve data collection and to implement evidence-based prevention strategies.
CDC provides the latest information to help prevent prescription and illicit drug overdoses in communities across the country. Awareness activities in August and September highlight the importance of strengthening the fight against opioid overdose.
August 31st marks International Overdose Awareness Day, a global event that aims to raise awareness of drug overdose and to reduce the stigma of a drug-related death. Prescription Opioid and Heroin Epidemic Awareness Week, which takes place on September 17th through 23rd, is a week to remember individuals, families, and communities impacted by the opioid overdose crisis. CDC observes these events by sharing resources for individuals and communities that increase awareness, help improve response, and emphasize the message that we must work together to prevent overdose deaths and save lives..."Opiods
