Opioid Harm Co. 59 Wants Tax Increase,

Reduction Center Assistance in Fulfilling Calls
Opening Soon in By Guy Leonard
Lexington Park
Staff Writer
The 7th District Volunteer Res-

cue Squad has made dual pleas
to the county government; one to
increase their fire and rescue tax
allotment and another requesting
assistance in staffing their station
during the daytime hours.
Their request for staffing assis-
tance was a main topic of discus-
sion at the April 10 meeting of
the county’s Emergency Services
Board; it sparked a deeper discus-

The center will offer testing for HIV and Hepatitis C
and referrals for treatment, according to health depart-
ment information.
It will also distribute of naloxone, also known as Nar-
can, which is a medication that, once administered, can
counteract potentially deadly overdoses. The facility will
also offer training in how to administer Narcan properly.
The new facility will also allow opioid and intravenous
drug users to drop off used and possibly contaminated
syringes; if used again such syringes can contribute to
the spread of diseases such as HIV (Human Immunode-
ficiency Virus) and Hepatitis C.
The Harm Reduction Program also distributes new,
clean syringes to intravenous drug users at specific times
throughout the week.
While a controversial practice, health officials have
said it helps reduce the spread of infectious diseases
and gives addicts a chance to seek treatment for their
addictions.
Linking addicts to treatment resources is also part of
the Harm Reduction Program; however, those seeking
help at the center cannot be forced to participate in a re-
covery treatment program.
Counselors at the new facility also provide advice on
safer sex practices, including condom usage, wound care
referral and information on how to more safely use in-
jection equipment, according to information from the
county health department.
