Today is International Overdose Awareness Day (https://www.overdoseday.com/ ) a global event that we proudly support by working towards preventing overdose, reducing stigma, raising awareness and providing support to people, families and loved ones affected by substance misuse and overdose.
The message? That every person’s life is valuable and that stigmatising people who use drugs needs to stop. The tragedy of overdose death is preventable.
What we do

In Surrey we partner with Surrey and Borders Partnership Foundation NHS Trust, providing the i-access service which supports adults with all types of drug misuse and dependant alcohol problems.
