My agency is so proud to be a part of this vanguard. We are one of only a few rural-based drug checking sites, opening since 2023 Jan. We are now closing in on 1,000 samples observed.

I often talk about how society judges people for not getting sober but so rarely offers treatment for those with trauma/ptsd and other co-occurring mental health disorders. It would be more effective and cheaper (in the long run) to do so.

New FTIR-based software made #drug checking easier to use & expanded access: 2,600+ samples tested, hundreds of first-time users. This software can provide real-time reporting to communities & health agencies. www.tandfonline.com/doi/figure/1...

People who use drugs and experience multiple adverse childhood experiences face a far higher risk of non-fatal #overdose. Addressing early-life #trauma could be key to more effective harm reduction and treatment. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
