On August 31st, Scientology Network will commemorate International Overdose Awareness Day with a marathon television event.
In the US alone, drug overdose deaths average one every five minutes. International Overdose Awareness Day is observed both to remember the victims of drug overdoses and to inform the world on the urgent need to adopt effective drug education campaigns.
