⚠️Drug Alert from Leeds⚠️

The best way to stay safe is to not use at all - but if you are using, please remember the following tips:

✅Start low and slow: Begin with just a quarter dose of new supplies.
✅Never use alone: Always ensure someone is nearby.
✅Use cautiously in groups: If with others, have only one person try a reduced dose first.
✅Avoid mixing: Combining drugs—including alcohol—raises the risk of overdose.
✅Watch out for signs of overdose: These may include unconsciousness, shallow breathing, “snoring” or rasping sounds, and blue lips or fingers.
✅Be ready to act: Call 999 and request an ambulance without hesitation.
✅Stay equipped: Carry multiple Naloxone kits. Contact us if you need one.
