Please share your #sssp2023 pics and favorite presentation highlights with us! Looks like this fearless social media coordinator is self-isolating for the remainder of the conference.

Our goal shouldn’t be for Overdose Prevention Centers to become a permanent part of the healthcare & social services systems.

It should be to change those systems (that created the need for OPCs in the first place), to where we may not need them at all in 20-30 years or so.

Second FDA approval for over-the-counter (OTC) naloxone!

A huge win for harm reductionists and a step towards ending the opioid overdose epidemic!

It's a drug poisoning crisis! Not everyone who relies on the toxic drug supply has an addiction, but many do. Others use less frequently with no problem. This is why we need both immediate access to safer substances and detox and treatment.

No surprise, but the numbers are here and they are stark! #COVID19 #Health

So sad that in Ireland they are tormenting #cancer patients for medical #marijuana use -- this is truly pathetic and needs to change

The proportion of opioid overdose deaths involving buprenorphine did not increase after prescribing flexibilities were instated during the pandemic. Learn more about the need for expanded equitable access to MOUD & harm reduction: https://t.co/KjqAolaFAW #MACSFactMonday #MedEd

[guyfelicella🇨🇦🍁 @guyfelicella]

We judge people who use (certain) drugs
We judge people who are living with an addiction
We judge people who are experiencing homelessness
We judge people who want a safer supply
We judge people who seek treatment.
We judge & wonder why people continue to struggle alone. Stop🛑!
