Description
Today is Revive Awareness Day, a campaign put on by the Florida Department of Health to share the signs of overdose, the resources and programs available and the support offered to individuals with substance use disorder.
Every year since 2016, Pinellas County has seen an increase in overdose deaths caused by opioids. In 2022, there was an overdose death every 14 hours.
But now, thanks to educational campaign efforts, the county is starting to see an improvement in those numbers.
For those who have faced the scariest parts of addiction, they share their story to share hope.
