We ask all members to please have Narcan (naloxone) in your household, especially if you live with others or have kids. In many overdose deaths, the family and friends of people who died did not know they were using drugs.

Please discuss the important information below with your kids, family and friends.

1. Please don't use drugs alone. Most overdose deaths happen when people use alone, and no one can call help. Use with a buddy or at the OPS.
2. Drug supply is poisonous & deadly. Very high risk of overdose and death. 
3. Start with a small dose and go slow. Use at different times so someone is awake to call help.
4. If there's an overdose, CALL 9-1-1 RIGHT AWAY, give breaths, give Narcan (naloxone). When you call 9-1-1 to report an overdose, you WON'T be charged for simple drug possession.
5. Carry Narcan (naloxone) and know how to use it. Narcan nasal spray is free at London Drugs and pharmacies with your Status Card and BC Services Card. 
6. Use at the Overdose Prevention Site (OPS).
   5878 York Road. Open everyday, 1:00pm to 7:00pm. A safe, confidential space with zero judgement. Testing drugs takes 2 minutes, no questions asked.
7. Stay COVID-safe. Get vaccinated and don't share supplies.
8. Use the Lifeguard App. If you use alone, the Lifeguard phone app can call 911 if you overdose. Free at the App Store or Google Play.

9. Safe supply is available. Doctor at OPS (5878 York Rd, 250-597-7779) and Nurse Practitioner at PCN Clinic (71 Government St, 250-669-6542) can give safe supply of opioids. Or call your doctor, Ts’ewulhtun Health Centre (250-746-6184) or Healthlink BC (8-1-1).

10. Help and support are available. If you’re struggling with addiction, you’re NOT alone. Please reach out. Call Kwun’atsustul Counselling: 250-746-6184. Read more on our where to get help page.
