This past Tuesday was Fentanyl awareness day, when the nation recognizes those who have lost their lives to overdose from the synthetic opioid. The day was established by parents of lost loved ones, and we are reminded that substance misuse affects many more people than just the person struggling with their use. Here at CTO we support harm reduction rather than purely abstinence-based approaches to spreading opioid awareness. Narcan and fentanyl test strips are useful tools, you can visit https://knowthedangers.com/naloxone-finder/ to find free Narcan near you, and https://steverummlerhopenetwork.org/what-we-do/overdose-prevention/fentanyl-test-strips/ to find free fentanyl test strips.
