Overdose Prevention

Naloxone

Naloxone, also known as Narcan®, is a medication called an “opioid antagonist” used to counter the effects of opioid overdose. one negates the effect of the opioids and the body begins automatic functions like breathing again. Naloxone is a liquid that can be administered by a nasal spray or intramuscular (IM) injection.

We host trainings on how to administer Narcan every month during our Kit Making Parties.

Test Strips

Test strips help prevent drug overdoses by indicating the presence of fentanyl and xylazine in a substance within a few minutes.

Trystereo loves to provide you with free test strips, but around holidays and carnival season, we are flooded with requests that we do not have the capacity to meet. With limited supplies, our priority will always be folks who do not have the ability to buy their own. Here are some ways you can purchase test strips if you have the means:

Dance Safe

New Fentanyl Test Strips — Unlike other strips on the market, they do not produce false positives with meth, MDMA, or cocaine.

Dosetest

The most affordable option, though not the latest technology that guarantees reliable results.

Amazon
