Drug Overdose Prevention Programs

Drug overdose prevention programs aim to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by drug overdoses by providing education, resources, and support. These programs often include training on recognizing overdose symptoms, administering overdose-reversal medications like naloxone, and promoting safe drug use practices. They also connect individuals to treatment and recovery services. The goal is to save lives, reduce stigma, and help people access help before a crisis occurs, ultimately fostering safer communities and healthier individuals.
