Opiate overdose prevention services
Healthy Surrey
Your local pharmacy offers a free naloxone service. Naloxone is a medicine that can save lives in case of an overdose from drugs like heroin, methadone, morphine, codeine, and fentanyl. These drugs can stop you from breathing, especially if mixed with alcohol or other drugs. Naloxone helps you start breathing again and can save your life.
In Surrey, this service aims to prevent drug-related deaths. Community pharmacies give naloxone kits to people who use other drug services, like Needle Exchange. Family members, front-line workers, hostel managers, and anyone who might see an overdose should also get a kit from their nearest pharmacy.
