harm reduction

The number of pregnant people or postpartum parents in the U.S. who died from an opioid overdose grew by 81% in the past six years, according to a recent study. It's a significant increase compared to other people who use opioids.

A month in, The Turning Point recovery and community center in Oneonta is distributing as much naloxone in a day as they used to in a week.

“It’s important, again, that we use these funds to provide lifesaving drugs, and lifesaving treatment.”

“Especially with that surge of the overdose numbers, it’s not going away, so why not just try it?"

"It got to the point that we realized we were going to have to cut back on the amount that we give to people and we really had to ration our supplies."
