substance use

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.

“People are gonna take a bed or a floor, kind of wherever they can get it. Usually it’s going to be in an unsafe environment.”

“If we can make it easy instead of more difficult, we might be able to address what’s happening with the overdose rate."

"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."
