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.

*Gelo NE tenê ji bo kesên ku girêdayî ne. 

Ger ji we re an ji yekî hezkirî re dermanên narkotîk ên bi hêz hatine derman kirin, divê hûn naloxone li ber destê we bin. 

Naloxone - Fermana Serdemê ya Wîlayeta Virginia:  A Fermana domdar ji bo hemî Virginianiyên ku dixwazin Naloxone bistînin wekî reçeteyek xizmet dike. Niştecîhên  Virginia naha dikarin Naloxone rasterast ji dermanxanê bixwazin bêyî ku pêşî li bijîşk an peydakiroxê xwe biçin.

​

Naloxone, dermanek bi reçete, dermanek dijberê opioîdê ye ku bandorên ku opioîdên di mêjî de hene vedigerîne. Dema ku kesek afyonan zêde doz dike, opioîd receptorên taybetî yên di mejî de dipelixîne, hêdî hêdî nefesê û rêjeya dil kêm dike berî ku di dawiyê de bi tevahî were sekinandin. Naloxone ji van receptoran re têkiliyek pir zêde heye û bi bandor opioîd ji receptora mêjî derdixe. Ev kiryar dihêle ku laşê mirov ji nû ve nefesê bide destpêkirin. Naloxone bi salan ji hêla teknîsyenên bijîjkî yên acîl û bijîjkên jûreya acîl ve hatî bikar anîn da ku aciziyên zêdedozê yên opioîd berevajî bike. Ji derveyî vê armanca yekane, naloxone tu bandorek li ser laş nake, û ji bo kesê ku bi xeletî wê ji xwe re an kesek din re bi rê ve dibe, xeternak e.

Naloxone bersivek tenduristiya gelemperî ya îsbatkirî ye ji serpêhatiya acîl a zêdedoza opioîdê re. Navendên Kontrolkirin û Pêşîlêgirtina Nexweşan destnîşan dikin ku ji sala 1996-an vir ve, dema ku bernameya yekem a belavkirina naloxone li Lay Rescuers (termînolojiya REVIVE! ji bo endamên civakê yên ku li ser rêveberiya naloxone hatine perwerde kirin) hate pêkanîn, 152,283 kesan perwerdehiya li ser birêvebirina naloxone werdigirin. Wan kesan jiyana 26,463 bi rêvekirina naloxone ji kesên ku rastî aciziya zêdedoza opioîdê dihatin xilas kirin.
