Today is International Overdose Awareness Day
"The stereotype of overdose is a person with a needle in their arm"
IN 2012, 350 people died in Ireland from overdoses – twice as many people as those who died in traffic accidents that same year.
Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, a time to draw attention to the impact overdoses have across the world.
The Ana Liffey Drug Project is using the day to raise awareness of the devastating effects drug overdoses have on public health here in Ireland.
There were an estimated 183,000 drug-related deaths across the world in 2012 – the most recent official statistics – most of which were overdoses.
Ana Liffey pointed out that the 2015 statistics from the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction show that Ireland is in the top five EU countries for overdose.
Every non-fatal overdose can also have adverse health effects, and overdose does not just affect the individual involved.
