Why do we offer free test strips?

Because people deserve to stay alive.

There is a common misunderstanding that tools like test strips promote drug use. They do not. What they do is help prevent unintentional harm and overdoses.

Many substances today are mixed with powerful additives like fentanyl or xylazine, often without a person’s knowledge.

Test strips give people a chance to know what they’re facing.

At the Lewis County Health Department, our role is simple:
Prevent. Promote. Protect.

This is one way we protect our community.

Come see us at 185 Commercial Drive, Vanceburg KY 41179 to learn more.
