Opiate info

Northeast Communities Against Substance Abuse (NECASA) has added a section devoted to Opiate and Opioid information to its website  www.necasaonline.org

Within the section, there are information sheets on the various drugs which are or can be abused; information on where treatment is available in the Northeast part of Connecticut; treatment alternatives; how to get the overdose reversal drug Naloxone(Narcan) and how to administer it, including a video.

In addition, the site will provide information on insurance coverage problems and on stigma.

It is anticipated that additional materials will be added in the near future.
