Stay informed. Save a life.
Fentanyl is driving overdose deaths & many don’t even know they’re at risk. Fake pills can look real, & you can’t see the difference. Carry naloxone. Talk to your family. Spread awareness!

Happy to share some positive news! So thankful for the wonderful work the @msdh is doing to reduce overdose deaths in our state. We have seen over 30% reduction in overdose deaths in our state do to harm reduction efforts such as fentanyl testing strips and naloxone. Yes, we are still in crisis mode but it’s great to see hard work paying off. @jonhubanks is doing an INCREDIBLE job leading these efforts!
MSDH has distributed 20,000+ free naloxone kits across Mississippi! Naloxone can reverse opioid overdoses and save lives.
