It has been a bad summer for overdose deaths in Niagara.
Positive Living Niagara's Director of StreetWorks Service Talia Storm says they are seeing a rise in overdoses, including many deaths over the last number of weeks.
"We're seeing a lot of benzos [Benzodiazepines] mixed in causing very strange adverse reactions. So we're actually, in Niagara, under an adverse reaction advisory alert through the Overdose Prevention and Education Network of Niagara."
