Podcasts about International Overdose Awareness Day

International Overdose Awareness Day is an opportunity to spotlight the importance of being prepared to respond when overdose spikes occur. Overdose spikes can develop rapidly, leaving public health and safety agencies with a narrow window to respond. In Alaska, public health, public safety, tribal health, treatment and recovery organizations, and community partners used a tabletop exercise developed by ASTHO and the Overdose Response Strategy (ORS) to test a statewide overdose spike response protocol and identify where preparedness efforts needed to improve.  ORS is a unique public health and public safety partnership between the Office of National Drug Control Policy and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through their support of the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program and the CDC Foundation. ORS connects public health and public safety agencies so they can share timely information and support innovative, evidence-based strategies to reduce overdoses and save lives. Michael Jurasek, a CDC Foundation public health analyst with the ORS program serving Alaska, discusses how the exercise helped Alaska strengthen notification systems, engage populations at heightened risk, and build relationships with new partners. He also shares how lessons from the exercise were put into practice during a real-world overdose cluster and why jurisdictions should treat preparedness as an ongoing, iterative process.Public Health Responds to the Overdose Crisis | ASTHOOverdose Spike Preparedness Exercise Tabletop in a Box | ASTHOLeading Change October 2026Beyond the RHTP Buzz: Is Your Rural Community Ready to Scale What Works?

Our old friend Michael Oxley, LPN, joined us as a guest this evening. As we close in on International Overdose Awareness Day, we took this time to look at overdose and addiction from a clinical standpoint. Addiction is a chronic disease characterized by compulsive and persistent engagement in a substance or behavior despite significant negative consequences. It involves changes in brain chemistry and reward pathways that take time to heal, if they ever do. Addiction touches pretty much everyone on some level and it's important to remember why we decided it was a good idea to self medicate in the first place.

How we cope and how we hope are directly related. Harm reduction has been added to many of our vocabularies as have addiction and overdose.

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?
