Drug Overdose Alert: Scott County.

Between March 8th and 13th, 6 suspected nonfatal drug overdose Emergency Medical Services (EMS) encounters were reported in Scott County through Overdose Detection Mapping Application System (ODMAP), which represents an unusually high number of suspected nonfatal drug overdose encounters in this period. As a result, people who use drugs in or around this area should take caution to protect themselves.

What you can do:
-Always keep naloxone on hand and administer it if you suspect an overdose. Fentanyl has been found in all types of unregulated drugs, so naloxone may help regardless of drug taken.

-Visit your Local Health Department to obtain naloxone and other drug overdose prevention supplies.

-Promote naloxone distribution sites and/or by mail for those without local access: https://findnaloxonenowky.org

-Call 1-800-696-1996 to connect with overdose protection, detection, life-saving crisis response and medical intervention services for people who use drugs.

-If you or someone you know needs help with Substance Use Disorder, visit https://findhelpnowky.org/ky to search for available treatment and recovery options (or call 1-833-859-4357 during business hours, or 1-800-854-6813 after business hours).

-Check in on friends, family members neighbors, and others to share this information.

-Call 911 if you suspect an overdose.
