Education is one of our most powerful tools, especially as we approach International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31st. In this episode, Dr. Jason Powers highlights the critical role that ongoing education plays in overdose prevention and recovery. He addresses the misconceptions and stigmas that often prevent people from seeking help or fully grasping the severity of an overdose. With this knowledge, we empower individuals to act swiftly in emergencies.  Dr. Powers also emphasizes that education goes beyond just recognizing the immediate signs and symptoms of overdose—it involves understanding the complexities of what happens during an overdose and the importance of a critical response. Tools like Narcan (naloxone) are invaluable in reversing opioid overdoses, but it's essential to be aware of both their benefits and limitations, including the potential for withdrawal symptoms after use.  Having the right tools, support, and understanding of substance use disorders and overdose, no matter the substance, can help individuals find the proper treatment and start their journey toward a healthier, substance-free life. By spreading accurate information, we can break down barriers and promote a more compassionate approach to overdose and recovery.  Topics Discussed: Understanding what happens during an overdose  Dispelling myths and misinformation behind overdose Pros and cons of Narcan and substance withdrawal The importance of continued recovery education   Connect with us on Social!  IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverymd/  FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/positiverecoverymd/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg Additional Links:  Want to receive the daily Positive Intervention from Dr. Powers' Positive Recovery Daily Guide?

This is a recording of the entire event as it happened.  International Overdose Awareness Day is the world's largest annual campaign to end overdose, remembering without stigma those who have died from overdose, and acknowledging the grief of the family and friends left behind.  According to the New York State Department of Health, Sullivan County holds the highest rate of overdose, per capita in New York State; and was also recently federally-designated as a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). State and local leaders shared their efforts to battle the opioid crisis in Sullivan County. The community opened their hearts as families share their stories of loved ones who lost their battle with substance use. Remember those who have passed and celebrate those in recovery. 20 organizations were in attendance sharing resources created to face this crisis head on.

In a heartfelt tribute to those unseen, our expert panel leads an enlightening discussion addressing the silent threats of modern addiction. With counterfeit drugs becoming an ever-looming danger and the pressing challenges that individuals face, the podcast highlights the intrinsic value of community and professional support. This conversation aims to emphasize that battling addiction is not a solitary journey but rather a communal effort. The team delves deep into the unspoken aspects of addiction. Addressing the disparity in resources for treatment and mental health, she underscores the dire consequences many face. The conversation further illuminates the stark differences between overdose, poisoning, and suicide, shedding light on society's misplaced blame. The panel's emphasis on society's pivotal role in driving change underlines the essence of #WeSeeYou – the need for individuals to feel seen and heard. This recording is a clarion call for society to reprioritize, place well-being above all, and fundamentally change our approach to addiction. ------
