There have been an alarming number of drug poisonings across Ontario. We checked in with the health unit to see what the situation has been like here.
Dr. Lina Li says we are seeing more harm in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville from the use of certain substances.
Jennifer Adams Manager of Clinical Care with the Health Unit says users should be prepared before they use. And so should their families.
Users, their friends, and family should have naloxone kits to administered the potentially life-saving dose should the worst happen. You can get them at most pharmacies and through the health unit at no cost.
