Join our partners from McCall Behavioral Health Network at 9:00am, Apex Community Care at 12:00pm, or Greenwoods Counseling & Referrals, Inc. at 3:00pm for a 20-minute, informative session on how to use naloxone.

Simply touching fentanyl cannot cause an overdose.

Let's continue focusing on facts, instead of fear. When sticking to the facts, people who are responding to an opioid overdose are more likely to follow through with the encounter, rather than being too scared to act.

When someone is overdosing and the individual responding to this overdose is frightened for their own safety - this can be dangerous for the person experiencing an opioid overdose as the response is either slower or doesn't occur at all. What we can provide when responding to an overdose is rescue breathing and Narcan - which Red Project gives out for free!

Try to never walk away from an overdose. Unless you directly snort, ingest, or inject fentanyl you're going to be unaffected. Even the fentanyl dermal patches for skin take hours to start working (up to 24 hours), and they're specially formulated for that task.

Don't let misinformation cost someone their life. As someone who’s held the power of Narcan in my hands, I've seen it - how a single moment, a single choice, can mean the difference between life and death. If you’re ever in the face of an overdose, don’t hesitate. Call 911. Stay there. Act. Because if it were your life hanging in the balance, you’d want someone to do the same.

It’s worth it. It’s always worth it.

Recently in Stonington Ct, an incident occured where it was suspected a K-9 was exposed to fentanyl. In people, Fentanyl exposure is often difficult unless the substance enters a mucous membrane. Dogs naturally are sniffing and can be exposed to fentanyl or other substances.

Signs of opioid exposure in dogs include sedation, pinpoint pupils, vomiting, stumbling, slow respiratory rate, slow heart rate, coma, respiratory arrest. Narcan should be administered as soon as possible. Opening the dogs airway similar to a human. The head should be tilted back so the Narcan can flow through the nasal passage. Narcan can be administered every 2-3 minutes until the dog wakes up. Caution: dogs can be very confused and may lead to aggression.
Dogs should be seen by a vet as soon as possible as monitored closely for 12-24 hours.
