Today we come together as a city and nation to warn and educate on the dangers of Fentynal and try to prevent more from being poisoned by this drug. #NationalFentynalPreventionAndAwarenessDay
We have had a deflection program since 2018! Handing out naloxone is one of the many things we do in the attempt to save lives while people are on their journey. Offering services and support while co-responding with behavioral health agencies!!

Sometimes all it takes for someone to believe in themselves is someone else to believe in them... in this case, SURT officers and Peer support listen to and encourage these community members,providing them with resources and treatment options is sometimes just the hope they need.
Substance Use Resource Team and Codac Peer Supports on their daily outreach searching high and low providing resources and naloxone to those that normally would not receive them. If you are struggling or know someone struggling with addiction, NEVER GIVE UP!!
