To prevent overdoses, carry Naloxone, use only one drug at a time or less of each one, don’t mix with alcohol, don’t use alone, start low and go slow, test your supply for fentanyl via test strips from a place like First Capital Cornerstone of Change and sign up for community alerts of bad drug batches (Text SOAR to 740-749-7627).
