Gananoque – Due to the recent surge of drug poisonings in the area, the Gananoque Police Service and Leeds, Grenville, & Lanark Health Unit are urging residents to be cautious when using drugs and take safety precautions, such as:
- If you use alone: download the Brave App or call the NORS Overdose prevention Hotline 1-888- 688-6677 for confidential, nonjudgmental support for you, whenever and wherever you use drugs.
- Try to avoid using alone. Tell someone before you use it and leave the door unlocked so someone can check on you
- When using with someone else, make a plan, don’t use at the same time
- Know your tolerance. Start low, Go slow
- Don’t mix drugs
- Know the quality of the drugs
- Know your health and body
- Carry Naloxone
The National Overdose Response Service has a hotline that provides loving, confidential support for you whenever you use drugs.
