OSSIPEE — International Overdose Awareness Day is Saturday, and White Horse Addiction Center at 70 Route 16B in Ossipee will observe the day with a rally from 1-8 p.m.

The New Hampshire Department of Justice has reported more than 400 drug overdoses a year for the past since 2015 (most of those are opioid related), peaking at 488 in 2017 — more than twice the national rate of 14.6 deaths per 100,000 people.
