Reduce Harm
When it comes to substance use, harm reduction is an evidence-based approach that saves lives and decreases potential harms for individuals and the larger community.
Harm reduction strategies include:
- Access to naloxone (NARCAN®)
- Designated sober driver
- Safe disposal of unused medications and medical syringes/needles
- Access to fentanyl test strips
- Syringe exchange programs
Please reach out to BRiDGES at 315-697-3947 for NARCAN® training & kits, safe medication disposal, and fentanyl test strips.
Visit the ACR Health website for more information about syringe exchange programs in our area.
Visit the Madison County Solid Waste website for more information about safe syringe/needle disposal.
