Black Balloon Day is designed to raise awareness about drug dependencies, especially the dangers of opioids, which often result in accidental overdoses. Black Balloon Day can be a healing day for families and friends to come together to remember an important person they lost. An important aspect of Black Balloon Day is to raise awareness about the dangers of opioids to lower the number of those addicted and those at risk of an overdose.
Approximately 10% of adults in the United States experience a drug use disorder at some point in their lives, with almost 75% of those not receiving any treatment. While Black Balloon Day raises awareness to prevent drug use disorders, it also helps those working through addiction find the treatment they need to heal and recover.
