Prevent overdoses
- Avoid using alone or simultaneously if you’re with other people
- Carry naloxone (Narcan) or identify who has some and knows how to administrate it
- Visit the safe injection services (SIS) of Dopamine, CACTUS Montréal, Spectre de rue or L’Anonyme
- Test substances with the fentanyl checking kits
- Decrease your dose or try an alternate route of administration to injection to evaluate its effects
- Avoid mixing drugs and if you do so, get to know the risks
- In case of overdose, call 911! The Good samaritan Act offers some protection
