Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the lives lost to overdose and hold close the families, friends, and communities who carry their memory.
Those we’ve lost were someone’s child, parent, sibling, friend, or loved one. They had stories, dreams, struggles, laughter, and people who loved them. They were loved, they were valued, and their struggles did not define who they were.
At Visalia Recovery Center, we are reminded every day that recovery is possible, that hope can return, and that no one should have to walk through this alone.
Today we remember those we’ve lost, stand beside those who are still struggling, and celebrate every person who continues to choose recovery, one day at a time. 💜
