![]() Overdose deaths are far too frequent, and they are both predictable and preventable. The od campaign aims to make a difference – save lives – by alerting people to risk, and improving the response to overdose by services and drug users. The materials are designed to reinforce the message that substitute prescribing substantially reduces ovderdose risk, inform people about the predictors of fatal overdose (stop overdose deaths! poster, od causes DVD ), teach drug users and their relatives how to put someone in the recovery position (recovery DVD ), and the risks of overdose following detox and prison ('promise yourself' poster...). For details of the materials available, click on the links to the right.
