Please take a look at this media release from Halton Police about a recent surge in suspected overdoses. Here are a few helpful Harm Reduction tips: Never use alone. Having another person nearby can save your life. Know your tolerance. Use a small amount of a drug first to check the strength. Remember that any drug can be cut with, or contaminated by, other drugs which can be harmful or fatal. Carry naloxone, a drug that can temporarily reverse... an opioid overdose. Call 9-1-1. An overdose is a medical emergency. Under the Good Samaritan Act you will not be charged for drug possession if you call 9-1-1 in an emergency If you would like to get connected with services please call our intake line at 905 639 6537 https://www.haltonpolice.ca/about/media/view_release.php
