August 31 is Opioid Awareness Day
The State of Ohio marks August 31 as Ohio Overdose Awareness Day, "an opportunity to remember loved ones lost to an overdose, recognize those who have a substance use disorder and are working toward recovery." It's also a good time to become more familiar with the resources available for those in crisis.
Naloxone.ohio.gov
RecoveryOhio, the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and the Ohio Department of Health have partnered to launch www.naloxone.ohio.gov, a new website that streamlines the process of requesting the lifesaving drug, naloxone, that can reverse an opioid overdose.
Allen County Resource Fair
Allen County Public Health is providing a community resource fair at the Brightview addiction treatment center, 1505 N Cole St., Lima.
This is a walk through-drive through event with promotional giveaways, flags to remember those lost to overdose and free Narcan.
