Naloxone Kits and Harm Reduction for People Who Use Stimulants in the Era of Fentanyl
This episode explores the benefits of having on hand Naloxone Kits and Fentanyl Testing Strips for stimulant use disorder. Dr. Shoptaw and Amy Shanahan highlight how these resources can contribute to establishing consistent health responses by advocating for harm reduction approaches in both Stimulant Use Disorders and Opioid Use Disorders. They delve into the significance of creating a unified response that prioritizes health and promotes harm reduction practices. Furthermore, the episode addresses the disparity in care between opioid use and stimulant use, shedding light on the concerning fact that stimulant use often garners less attention and concern compared to opioids.
