Opioid Overdose Prevention Programs

Opioid Overdose Prevention Programs are community initiatives designed to reduce the risks associated with opioid use, particularly overdoses. These programs often provide education on the dangers of opioid misuse, distribute naloxone (a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose), and train individuals on how to recognize an overdose and administer naloxone. They may also offer access to addiction treatment resources and support services. By equipping people with knowledge and tools, these programs aim to save lives and promote safer drug use practices within communities.
