@Narcan_Nate All naloxone products with cost attached to them have now been removed from our website.

[Tennessee Harm Reduction @TNHarmReduction]

@Narcan_Nate Hey Nate, we’ve removed the NARCAN keychains from our website. Now you’ll find all our naloxone has no cost attached to it — only shipping. 😀

The test strips you sent us were not resold. They were distributed for free by our in-person SSP before it closed.

Our supply-by-mail program is reopen! 😁

I am now in detox as we speak, and going through the addiction treatment cycle once more.

If anything’s for sure, when we return, we will be stronger than ever before.

[Tennessee Harm Reduction @TNHarmReduction]

We are closed indefinitely. We will reopen at some point in 2023, possibly as early as fall.

If you have an online order, rest assured we will fulfill your order. If you ordered during a promotion, you will receive all extra supplies you were promised.

Our founding director (me) is going through some personal problems. I lost my housing, income, and car in March/April 2023. In April I entered addiction treatment in hopes of finding housing. In June, I returned to use an overdosed, thus losing my housing in the process.

Harm reduction in the rural South is much different from HR in New York, British Columbia — or most of anywhere else you could imagine.

A documentarian spent a weekend with us in March 2022 to show what harm redux looks like here.

Update from Tennessee Harm Reduction for those wondering what’s been going on. We apologize for the inconvenience. Paige Lemen (@theSUDscientist) is temporarily taking over daily operations along with Christina. We’ve had quite a few bumps on the road. Msg Paige if you have Q’s.

NARCAN® and Kloxxado® rob the harm redux community of money, take twice as long to work as generic (IM) formulations, hurt people who use drugs, and make people less likely to use naloxone (it's true...).

@StopkaThomas Could you send us a full-text version of "Is Crime Associated with Over-The-Counter Pharmacy Syringe Sales? Findings from Los Angeles, California"? Our director, Daniel Garrett, emailed you a request.

West #Tennessee — help us save even more lives by letting us use your parking lot (we're only asking for the equivalent of 2-3 parking spots) or any other outdoor space for public health outreach.

Finally regained access to our Twitter account after nearly two years. Hooray! #harmreduction #Tennessee

@davidthekick Same for so many others.

And the whole heroin being unregulated thing, giving the black market chance to adulterate heroin with fentanyl & its analogs.
