UPAC joins communities around the world to recognize International Overdose Awareness Day, which is observed annually on August 31.

Overdose affects every community, touching friends, neighbors, and family members. By talking openly, sharing resources, and showing compassion, we can reduce stigma and save lives.

In San Diego County, UPAC’s Addiction Treatment & Recovery programs provide the support and encouragement needed to find recovery. We offer several drug treatment and recovery programs and resources for adults, transition aged youth, and teens.
