Overdose is a scary reality for many of us dealing with an addicted loved one. While all of our partners have overdosed many times during active use, they have all lived to see another day and seek treatment. Today we share our experiences with finding our loved ones OD’ed and dealing with the consequences that follow. We also talk about naloxone, which rapidly reverse an opioid overdose, and Vivitrol and Suboxone which block the opioid receptors in the brain.

September is addiction awareness month. Please help us fight the stigma!
