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.

*BUKAN hanya untuk orang yang ketagih. 

Jika anda atau orang tersayang diberi ubat penahan sakit narkotik yang berkuasa, anda harus mempunyai nalokson. 

Naloxone - Perintah Tetap Seluruh Negeri Virginia:  A Perintah tetap berfungsi sebagai preskripsi untuk semua warga Virginia yang ingin mendapatkan Naloxone.  Penduduk Virginia kini boleh meminta Naloxone terus daripada farmasi tanpa perlu melawat doktor atau pembekal perubatan mereka terlebih dahulu.

​

Naloxone, ubat preskripsi, ialah ubat antagonis opioid yang membalikkan kesan opioid dalam otak. Apabila seseorang terlebih dos pada opioid, opioid mengatasi reseptor tertentu dalam otak, perlahan-lahan mengurangkan pernafasan dan degupan jantung sebelum akhirnya menghentikannya sama sekali. Naloxone mempunyai pertalian yang sangat tinggi untuk reseptor ini dan dengan berkesan menolak opioid daripada reseptor otak. Tindakan ini membolehkan badan seseorang menyambung semula pernafasan. Naloxone telah digunakan selama bertahun-tahun oleh juruteknik perubatan kecemasan dan doktor bilik kecemasan untuk membalikkan kecemasan overdosis opioid. Di luar tujuan tunggal ini, naloxone tidak mempunyai kesan ke atas badan, dan tidak menimbulkan bahaya kepada sesiapa sahaja yang secara tidak sengaja memberikannya kepada diri mereka sendiri atau orang lain.

Naloxone adalah tindak balas kesihatan awam yang terbukti terhadap wabak kecemasan berlebihan opioid. Pusat Kawalan dan Pencegahan Penyakit menunjukkan bahawa sejak 1996, apabila program pertama untuk mengedarkan naloxone kepada Lay Rescuers (terminologi REVIVE! untuk ahli komuniti yang telah dilatih mengenai pentadbiran naloxone) telah dilaksanakan, 152,283 orang menerima latihan mengenai pentadbiran naloxone. Individu tersebut telah menyelamatkan 26,463 nyawa dengan memberikan nalokson kepada individu yang mengalami kecemasan berlebihan dos opioid.
