Who Can Use Them?

Why Fentanyl Test Strips Matter
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is responsible for most overdose deaths in the United States. It is often mixed with other drugs — sometimes without the user knowing. Fentanyl test strips allow someone to check for the presence of fentanyl in a substance before using it. This harm reduction tool is part of a broader strategy to keep people alive and connected to care.
Why Naloxone Access Matters
Naloxone (Narcan) reverses opioid overdoses. It is safe, easy to use, and cannot harm someone who is not overdosing on opioids. Having Naloxone readily available — in homes, cars, bags, and public spaces — saves lives.
You do not need to be someone who uses drugs to carry Naloxone. Family members, friends, community members, and businesses can all benefit from having it on hand.
