14 days of nalaxone UPDATE and welcome suggestions
14 DAYS WITH MY KITS AND ALREADY A LITTLE OVER 40 OUT!!Going to court outpatient rehab as this facility wants kits tomorrow for those patients in outpatient treatment. Going to health dept, and social services. meeting with police and sheriff in the upcoming month or so. Also going to see of ER would be willing to hand out any if a person comes in due to overdose. Long term I would like jails and prisons to hand out upon release as a person incarcerated is 120 times more likely to OD and possibly die after release. Any suggestions where else I can go is welcomed. Thought about buying an ice cream truck putting spinners on it, play some rap music and go around the hood and hand them out but I opted out of that idea :) LOL! AD is a little mad I am doing it. (Oh well) She said how dare I do this when she wants to be clean and I just want to keep having junkies around, But have a lot of support from recovering addicts and active ones too. Any ideas, suggestions from anyone please please post...this is so new to our area (and me) I would LOVE a different perspective!

In Response to: 14 days of nalaxone UPDATE and welcome suggestions In my city, police are just now getting these for their car kits, halfway house first aid kits. I know these are great, but at the same time, I worry that active addicts may be more likely to OD with the thinking that it's okay if they have this kit. Don't let your daughter's opinion affect what you do with your life because your opinion didn't affect what she did with hers. Very happy that you are able to give back and educate your community.

In Response to: 14 days of nalaxone UPDATE and welcome suggestions I wish it had been around when my daughter died in February. The man who fixed her doesn't qualify for the Good Samaritan Law, 'cuz he didn't even know CPR, Unfortunately! Posted: 08/25/2014 11:52 AM
