An Overdose Reversal Kit is Available in Flin Flon.

 

 

Those at risk of an opioid overdose now have access to naloxone kits and other supports across Manitoba including Flin Flon.

             

Naloxone is a medication used to reverse the side effects of opioid overdoses and is most efficient in preventing overdose deaths if administered within minutes of an overdose.  However Health Minister Kelvin Goertzen stressed that naloxone does not eliminate the risks associated with drug use especially in the case when powerful opioids like fentanyl and carfentanyl are used

             

Individuals who request a take home naloxone kit will receive training on overdose recognition and how to use the kit.  They will also be able to access information on addiction and harm reduction services.  In Flin Flon you can drop in or call to make an appointment at the Primary Health Care Centre at 1 North Avenue between 8:30 and 4:30 or call 204-687-1350.
