Overdose Prevention Programs
Overdose Prevention Programs (OPPs) are initiatives designed to reduce the risks and consequences of drug overdoses. They offer resources like education on safer drug use, access to naloxone (a medication that can reverse an overdose), and safe consumption spaces. OPPs also provide support services, including counseling and connections to treatment programs. By promoting awareness and offering practical tools, OPPs aim to save lives, reduce stigma, and help individuals access the care they need, addressing the broader issues of addiction and public health.
