Today is Overdose Awareness Day 💜

Overdose can affect anyone, anywhere — but together, we can help save lives through awareness, compassion, and action.

Knowing the signs of an overdose and having Naloxone (Narcan) on hand can make all the difference in an emergency. Naloxone is safe, easy to use, and reverses an opioid overdose.

For Naloxone distribution, contact District 4’s Opioid Public Health Analyst, LeTasha Powers, at [email protected]. Naloxone is provided after completing the appropriate training. Naloxone is also available over the counter at many local pharmacies.
________
Hoy es el dia Concientización sobre la Sobredosis 💜

Una sobredosis puede afectar a cualquier persona, en cualquier lugar; pero juntos podemos ayudar a salvar vidas mediante la concientización, la compasión y la acción.

Conocer los signos de una sobredosis y tener a mano naloxona (Narcan) puede marcar la diferencia en una emergencia. La naloxona es segura, fácil de usar y revierte una sobredosis de opioides.

Para la distribución de naloxona, comuníquese con LeTasha Powers, analista de salud pública sobre opioides del Distrito 4, en [email protected]. La naloxona se proporciona tras completar la capacitación correspondiente. También está disponible sin receta en muchas farmacias locales.
