"Harm reduction is evidence-based health care that is rooted in public health principles. There is no single best form of harm reduction — this model depends on the availability of an array of services that meet patients where they are."

The U.S. administration has continuously chipped away at public health interventions addressing substance use disorders and the opioid crisis, including vital harm-reduction activities.

We're working closely with the chemistry department at the University of Notre Dame to identify emerging substances and contaminants in the local drug supply. Download our app or visit naxosod.com for more info or to get involved.

"Currently, the United States identifies and responds to changes to its illicit drug supply well after contaminants appear. In this sense, our response is reactive, rather than proactive. The existing gaps in data collection and drug supply surveillance across the nation limit the ability of states and communities to respond to emerging contaminants in real time. While surveillance of opioid-related overdoses exists broadly throughout the US, including a national non-fatal overdose surveillance database, the discovery of what was involved in an overdose usually happens after the overdose occurs. This is often due to the efforts of medical examiners and coroners who investigate the causes of overdose deaths. While this information has proved useful for understanding the ongoing crisis, it is limited in its ability to proactively keep individuals safe from an ever changing drug supply."

Drug checking can serve as a powerful overdose prevention tool that can inform communities and states of emerging contaminants in their illicit drug supply.
