D.C.’s Fentanyl Crisis is Different
Fentanyl is a national crisis, and the D.C. area is no exception. But the communities bearing the brunt of it here are different compared to the rest of the country. As the FDA pushes to make narcan, the life-saving antidote to opioid overdoses, available over the counter, Axios DC reporter Chelsea Cirruzzo is here to tell us what harm reduction specialists say about the problem and how we can all help.
DBH offers a full range of behavioral health services. To learn more, call the 24-hour Access Helpline at 1-888-793-4357. Read the full LIVE.LONG.DC. plan here.
