Resources Available to Combat Opioids
|
 If you or your organization is interested in hosting a Narcan training or receiving drug-disposal resources, please reach out to our prevention coordinator, Jordan, at prevention@sthcs.org. Since 2015, STHCS has trained 2,549 people to administer Narcan and provided 2,719 Narcan kits to EMS and community members in Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties.
 The Southern Tier Overdose Prevention Program (STOPP) provides free Narcan kits and training to firefighters, EMS, law enforcement, schools, and the friends and family members of those most likely to suffer an overdose from heroin or prescription opiates like oxycodone. I'm happy to report that local Narcan administrations have greatly declined as a result of widespread prevention activities.
STHCS also distributes drug-disposal resources. Deterra and DisposeRx are available to our communities through a grant from the Safe Disposal Support Program at the Amerisource Bergen Foundation.
