“This has been an incredibly uncertain and stressful time for many people and we are seeing an increase of drug consumption- no shit- difficulty in accessing life-saving treatments for substance use disorder and a tragic rise in overdose deaths.”
What’s behind the staggering rise in drug overdose deaths? In this special edition of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell dives deep into the alarming statistics released by the CDC, revealing a 30% increase in overdose deaths, the highest ever recorded.

You’ll hear about the contributing factors, including the impact of COVID-19, and why opioids are at the heart of this epidemic. But it’s not all doom and gloom.

He urges listeners to step out of their comfort zones and show compassion to those battling addiction.
