Opioid Overdose Prevention Program in Riverside, CA
We run a program in Riverside that teaches our community how to prevent opioid overdoses and save lives. Our training shows you the warning signs of an overdose, like slow breathing and blue lips. We teach you to use naloxone, a safe medicine that quickly reverses overdoses, and make sure you're comfortable using it in emergencies. Plus, we give you a kit with everything needed to help someone during an overdose.
We connect you with local groups that help prevent overdose deaths and work to make our streets safer. Our team stays in touch after training to answer questions and help you feel confident about stepping in during an emergency. Together, we're building a stronger community that knows how to protect its members when they need help most.
Understanding Opioid Overdose
We help our community understand and prevent opioid overdoses. When someone takes too many opioids like fentanyl or heroin, their breathing can slow down or stop completely. The danger gets worse when mixing opioids with other drugs like benzos or xylazine. We teach you the warning signs - slow breathing, tiny pupils, and when someone won't wake up.
Our team provides free naloxone, a medicine that can save lives by reversing overdoses. We also show you how to use naloxone correctly and connect you with treatment programs that help prevent overdoses. If you use opioids or know someone who does, we'll make sure you have naloxone and know how to handle an emergency.
Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD)
We offer medications like buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone to help you heal from opioid addiction. These medicines lower cravings and make withdrawal easier to handle. Most of our clients use buprenorphine since it's safer and works well when paired with counseling.
Through our SAMHSA-supported program in Riverside, we give you access to these proven medications. We combine them with therapy to support your complete recovery. Our team creates a treatment plan that fits your needs and helps you build a better life.
