The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) is issuing an overdose spike alert for increased drug overdose activity in East Greenwich, Exeter, Hopkinton, Richmond, and West Greenwich (Region 10). From May 2 to May 8, 2025, Region 10 met its weekly overdose threshold, with the towns of Exeter and Hopkinton most impacted. The last time this region experienced an overdose spike was in March 2022. Learn more: tinyurl.com/47h3u3cw

The drug supply continues to contribute to this public health crisis. Illicit fentanyl continues to dominate the drug supply and has been detected in substances such as co***ne, crack co***ne, methamphetamine, and counterfeit pills. Pills obtained from sources other than a pharmacy should be assumed to have fentanyl. Learn more at preventoverdoseri.org/fentanyl

Carry the overdose reversal medicine, naloxone, and know how to use it at preventoverdoseri.org/naloxone.

If you or someone you know is using substances, try to avoid using alone. If you are using alone, have someone check on you. If you are using in a group, stagger your use so someone is always alert and ready to administer naloxone. Learn more at tinyurl.com/y7nm45aa
