Show Notes
Long Beachs health department introduces a new mail delivery option for its harm reduction program, allowing residents to request free kits online and receive them discreetly at home. Each kit includes test strips for fentanyl and xylazine, educational materials, and naloxone nasal spray. This expansion aims to improve access to life-saving supplies, particularly for those affected by the opioid crisis. Recent data shows a 39% decrease in fentanyl-related overdose deaths, with prevention efforts like these test kits and naloxone contributing to the drop. The program also offers free workshops and training on overdose response.
