By filling out the confidential form below, you can obtain one or more of the following types of harm reduction supplies at no cost.

Kits Offered

Fentanyl Test Strips

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid 50-100 times stronger than morphine.  It is the leading cause of overdose deaths, often mixed in with heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, or pills.

Fentanyl test strips could save your life.  They are easy to use and available in Greene County, for FREE.

Narcan

Naloxone (also known as Narcan®) is a medicine that can save someone’s life if they are overdosing on opioids—whether it’s a prescription opioid pain medicine, heroin, or a drug containing fentanyl. Naloxone quickly blocks and reverses the effects of an overdose.

Xylazine Test Strips

Xylazine (‘tranq dope’ or ‘sleep dope’) is a VERY STRONG veterinary sedative that is not safe for human use.  It is NOT an opioid but is usually sold mixed with fentanyl.  It can be brown or white powder, or dyed different colors (purple, pink) and can also be found mixed into pills.  People using it have reported a strong smell like gasoline and dry mouth, but it can be hard to know what you have.  It increases risk of death from overdose and causes other very serious problems, including dangerous skin wounds.  You can read more about xylazine here.

Safe Sex Practices

External (male) condoms, internal (female) condoms, and dental dams are the only form of birth control that prevents Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).  Use of condoms, along with a second form of birth control, is most effective at preventing both STIs and unplanned pregnancy.
