MISSION


To promote engagement in taking action to combat the opioid crisis and
strengthen alliances to eradicate illicit opioids on the streets of the United States.

Combating the Opioid Crisis

The opioid crisis affects every segment of society, without regard to class, race, gender, or profession. The response must be equally far-reaching. Together, we can increase awareness on the consequences that the illicit trade of opioids have in our homeland. The main source of these drugs originates from overseas. Mass quantities of opioids are being produced and brought illegally to the United States, contributing to the growing crisis in our country.

In response to the nationwide crisis, ARC is actively working to amplify research and education that addresses the opioid epidemic. ARC volunteers are supplementing existing coursework in proactive ways, we leverage the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Overdose Map to monitor overdose outbreaks in real-time and share results for material planning.

This epidemic is devastating families, we are committed to educating communities that have been affected by the opioid crisis. Law enforcement can only play a certain role in it. There are other facets to fight against the opioid crisis. Providing education to communities is key to stay on top of the evolving trends and concealments.

The opioid epidemic is hurting communities across our nation, none have been immune to its devastating effects; without action, this will continue to fuel the growing opioid crisis in America. Our role in battling the opioid emergency include:
•    Assisting and help protecting families from exposure to illegal opioids.
•    Identifying bad actors that target our youth and families with the online sales of counterfeit and illicit drugs. 
•    Reporting unlawful digital marketplaces illegally selling opioids and fake drugs online.

We are committed to disrupt the crisis by continuously identifying and reporting:
•    Criminal organizations that illicitly introduce dangerous opioids into the United States.
•    Criminal networks that traffic counterfeit medications.
•    Criminals who import and distribute narcotics into this country.
•    Markets for illicit drugs.
•    Dark Net sites

This is a complex issue requiring collaboration from many sectors and is an effort that needs to be supported through resources to be successful.  Our efforts to battle against the national crisis include:
•    Conducting extensive research on how to make significant improvements in opioids education.
•    Tracking, identifying, and sharing data.  
•    Promoting awareness.
•    Promoting prevention.
•    Providing resources.
•    Coordinating programs to improve the effectiveness of efforts.
•    Promoting education through articles, flyers, handouts, online display, and more.
•    Align resources and share expertise.

* NOT dìreach airson daoine a tha tràilleach. 

Ma tha thu fhèin no cuideigin a’ faighinn cungaidhean-leighis cumhachdach narcotic òrdaichte, bu chòir naloxone a bhith agad ri làimh. 

Naloxone - Virginia Statewide Òrdugh Gnàth:  A Tha òrdugh seasmhach a’ frithealadh mar òrdugh-cungaidh airson a h-uile Virginians a tha airson Naloxone fhaighinn.  Virginia faodaidh luchd-còmhnaidh a-nis Naloxone iarraidh gu dìreach bhon bhùth-chungaidhean gun a bhith a-muigh tadhal air an dotair no an solaraiche meidigeach aca an toiseach.

​

Tha Naloxone, cungaidh cungaidh-leigheis, na dhroga antagonist opioid a chuireas stad air a’ bhuaidh a tha aig opioids san eanchainn. Nuair a bhios neach a 'toirt cus cus air opioids, bidh an opioid a' faighinn thairis air gabhadairean sònraichte san eanchainn, a 'lùghdachadh gu slaodach air faochadh agus ìre cridhe mus stad e gu tur mu dheireadh. Tha dàimh fìor àrd aig Naloxone ris na gabhadairean sin agus bidh e gu h-èifeachdach a’ putadh an opioid far gabhadair na h-eanchainn. Tha an gnìomh seo a’ leigeil le corp duine faochadh fhaighinn air ais. Tha Naloxone air a bhith air a chleachdadh airson bliadhnaichean le teicneòlaichean meidigeach èiginneach agus dotairean seòmar èiginn gus stad a chuir air èiginn ro-ròs opioid. Taobh a-muigh an adhbhair shingilte seo, chan eil buaidh sam bith aig naloxone air a’ bhodhaig, agus chan eil e na chunnart do dhuine sam bith a bheir seachad e gun fhiosta dhaibh fhèin no do chuideigin eile.

Tha Naloxone na fhreagairt slàinte poblach dearbhte don ghalar èiginn thar-dòis opioid. Tha na h-Ionadan airson Smachd agus Bacadh Galar a’ nochdadh, bho 1996, nuair a chaidh a’ chiad phrògram airson naloxone a sgaoileadh gu Luchd-teasairginn Lay (briathrachas REVIVE! airson buill coimhearsnachd a fhuair trèanadh air rianachd naloxone) a chur an gnìomh, fhuair 152,283 neach trèanadh air a bhith a’ toirt seachad naloxone. Tha na daoine sin air 26,463 beatha a shàbhaladh le bhith a’ toirt seachad naloxone do dhaoine fa leth a bha a’ fulang èiginn ro-ròs opioid.
