Overdose Prevention

Know the Signs of Overdose & 5 Steps to Save A Life

The Ontario Government has now made naloxone kits available without a prescription. Naloxone is used to temporarily reverse an opioid overdose.

A person is eligible for a free Naloxone kit if they are:

An opioid user or past user who feels they may use again;
2. A family member or friend able to help with someone at risk for an opioid overdose;
A client of a needle syringe program or hepatitis C program;
A person newly released from a correctional facility.

The ORAPC Logo was developed by Jessica Henhawk and represents 4 people joining hands to create a medicine wheel. This connectedness represents a family, a community, and a committee partnership. The medicine wheel depicts the healing process, medicines and the physical/mental/spiritual/emotional being. They form a circle which represents the circle of life and the never ending cycle of recovery. There is a map of Ontario with the blue stroke representing the waters and the handshake representing the Ontario partnership.
