testimonials from overdose survivors and their families

“This program saved my husbands life. I cant overstate how grateful I am.”

“If it weren't for the service you provide, there would be no way for anyone in this area to get naloxone without going to the hospital and talking to the police. I live in the bible belt... where people think that if they just don't let drug users buy supplies then they will quit. They also believe that the only way someone should be allowed to get naloxone is to have a doctor prescribe it to them. You have no idea how much good you are doing... especially for people like us.. who have no other way to get clean supplies. So thank you so much! You truly are life savers!”

“If it weren't for programs such as this one my baby sister wouldn't be here today.”

“Because of this program a young man who is a father, son, brother and friend is still alive and getting a second chance. An overdose is something that no one wants to witness but the reality is that drugs are everywhere and and they effect everyone. Through this program I was able to help save a life, and I know this was not the first or last life to be saved. Sadly because of lack of knowledge, ignorance toward drug addiction, and lack of information and/or access to training and medications for overdoses many more lives are not saved. This program in my opinion is a phenomenal and encouraging step in the right direction to many futures that otherwise wouldn't be and second chances.”

“If I hadn't received the noloxone from your program it is very likely that my brother in law would not have survived his overdose. Thanks to your program I was trained to react in a positive way when it happened.”

“I think of the countless times of people who been helped directly or indirectly and thank God that this is available”
