To help reduce opioid-related deaths in the region, The Wright Center for Community Health is participating in a state-led initiative to distribute free overdose-reversing medication and other supplies.
个人可前往位于斯普鲁斯街 103 号的莱特社区健康中心(The Wright Center for Community Health - Hawley)领取纳洛酮试剂盒和毒品检查条,纳洛酮是一种经美国食品和药物管理局批准的可能挽救生命的药物。无需是莱特中心的病人,也无需提供身份证件。
莱特中心是众多获得批准的社区分发点之一,这些分发点被正式称为 "认可实体",它们将通过宾夕法尼亚州预防用药过量计划 (POPP) 免费接收药品。该计划于 2023 年年中启动,是宾夕法尼亚州犯罪与不良行为委员会(Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency)和宾夕法尼亚州毒品与酒精计划部(Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs)的一项联合行动。
The opioid epidemic, which has claimed the lives of about 14,000 Pennsylvanians in the past three years, continues to ravage communities and families. By increasing access to these supplies, state health officials and others hope to limit fatalities and link more people who use drugs to effective treatment programs.
