For anyone interested in a narcan certification and free narcan + fentanyl test strips, I would check out the following:

Locally, we have Wake Up Carolina. Founded by Dean Stephens from channel 4. They have a location in MTP that distributes narcan and test strips, as well as multiple trainings every month.

Nationally, End Overdose is out there doing the most for harm reduction. I am narcan certified through their organization and they’ve mailed me countless free harm reduction supplies.

I’ve lived here my entire life and over the last few years have seen the rise in cocaine use, which has also led to a major spike in accidental overdoses. People love drugs and they’re gonna keep doing them, so they should be provided with resources to keep them alive.

I say this as someone who by no means is in recovery or associated with any recovery based programs. I am purely on the side of harm reduction for users.
