The more you know 🌈💫

“A pervasive misconception about naloxone is that it affects the opioid molecules themselves. It doesn’t. It affects the receptors they bind to in the human brain and body, which are the same receptors regardless of the opioid’s potency. It is unequivocally false to say that naloxone doesn’t work well on higher-potency opioids. Using too much can in some cases be as dangerous as not using enough.”

A minor media frenzy has been forming around cychlorphine, a novel synthetic opioid described as the “next killer drug” taking ...

Justice Catalyst Law and want to hear from you if you have experienced discrimination based on Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) in treatment or recovery housing.

No experience is too big or too small, and these folks are incredible. Please reach out to them with anything you’ve experienced in this regard!

Wrapping up Black History Month by highlighting an incredible group!

In 1967, a group of African American men and women had had enough of the health disparities along the lines of race and class in Pittsburgh and became the first community-based emergency medical service with trained paramedics in the US.

They were also harm reduction heroes in their own right- Freedom House was the first group to make use of naloxone at a community level, where before it was only used to revive patients from surgery and never available in the event of an opioid overdose.

Many people still refused care from Freedom House due to their race. Many others sought to shut them down for serving predominantly Black communities, which ultimately came to fruition in 1975.

In their short time in operation, Freedom House made an enormous impact on healthcare policy and revolutionized community-based care.

Overdose is such a complicated story to track, but our hope is that complacency driven by “success” does not change the way we radically seek to support overdose prevention.

Thinking of everyone affected as we recover from a big Overdose Awareness Day.

In solidarity,
