Call for Vigilance
Attention Community Members!
Public Health Direction for the Gaspé Peninsula and Magdalen Islands is urging drug users, regardless of their method of consumption ( Ingestion, Injection, Inhalation, Or Other) to be cautious and encourages clinicians and interveners to increase overdose prevention interventions.
A significant number of reports of non-fatal overdoses have been observed in the Montreal area in recent days, linked to suspected fentanyl use.
The sharp rise in overdoses coincides with the detection of carfentanil in several samples suspected to be fentanyl in the form of “rocks” of various colors.
Listuguj Community Health Services has Naloxone take-home kits available for pickup to community members. For more information, stop by the Health Centre at 6 Pacific Dr., or call 418-788-2155.
