USET Harm Reduction Kit
USET created a Harm Reduction Kit to address the increasing rate of overdoses in our region. This kit includes various items, the most important being Naloxone. Naloxone, commonly called Narcan, is a medication extremely effective at countering Fentanyl overdose and safe for people of all ages.
USET wants to share resources on how to recreate these kits for your community. The kit contains six items:
- Naloxone is a medication that reverses opioid overdoses, waking a person who has had an overdose within minutes. Narcan is extremely effective. It is safe for any age. USET purchased the nasal spray version of this medication.
- Gloves are essential PPE. Fentanyl and even its residue is a dangerous substance that can be harmful.
- The Face Shield protects you from accidentally overdosing if rescue breathing is deployed.
- Fentanyl Testing Strips are used to detect Fentanyl in substances.
- The Deterra Bag is an at-home drug deactivation kit that can be used to safely dispose of opioids and prescription drugs that you no longer use. All you need is water to deactivate the drugs. USET ordered the Medium Pouch.
- Bags should be purchased to increase the ease of distribution.
In addition to providing resources on how to recreate the kit, USET has also created a training video that explains how to use the items in the kit. The training video can be shared with internal staff, community members, and anyone who has access to the Harm Reduction Kits.
