Remembering those lost to drug overdoses at Aug. 30 overdose awareness event
An average of 12 people die each month in Sonoma County from drug overdoses, which is the third highest rate among Bay Area counties. With fentanyl having emerged as a stealth drug often unknowingly mixed into other drugs, the situation has only become more dire. To raise awareness of the dangers of overdosing, the Sonoma County Department of Health Services invites the public to attend a free special event that will include music, art, food, demonstrations of overdose prevention tools and a display of classic lowriders from the Latin Rollers Car Club.
