NAXOLONE SUPPORT & AVAILABILITY!

Naloxone is a drug that can reverse the effects of opioids, such as heroin, methadone, opium, codeine, morphine, and buprenorphine. Naloxone doses can even save someone’s life if it’s used quickly after they’ve overdosed on opioids and gives extra time for emergency help to arrive. The effects of naloxone don’t last very long (about 8 to 30 minutes) so it’s important to always call 999 and ask for an ambulance when you use it. Ambulance crews have been using naloxone in emergencies for many years. We want to make sure that anyone who needs it, has it to hand and knows how to use it.

Drug Related Death/Non Fatal Overdose

Death by overdose is loaded with social and moral stigmas, in addition to strong feelings of anger, helplessness, guilt and shame within families. Families do not always know that a loved one is using drugs, so when a death by overdose occurs, it deprives family members of preventative action.

I am raising money by walking the Camino from Porto (Portugal) to Santiago (Spain) approx 170 miles, carrying my own backpack all the way on this pilgrimage. I hope, that by making my intention, to raise funds and challenge myself at 58 years of age, to walk this journey, I will raise funds for this charitable cause, that is very important to me, so please donate and help me reach my target in aid of SURREY DRUG AND ALCOHOL CARE LIMITED. Anything you can contribute towards helping me achieve my target will be massively appreciated.

The money will ensure that anyone within Surrey area, struggling with mental health/substance misuse and significant others can access therapeutic counselling and group support for complex bereavement, abstinent bootcamp and significant others (family/loved ones).
