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.

*MHUX biss għal nies li għandhom il-vizzju. 

Jekk inti jew xi ħadd maħbub tingħata mediċini narkotiċi qawwija għall-uġigħ, għandu jkollok naloxone fuq naħa. 

Naloxone - Ordni Permanenti fl-Istat ta' Virginia:  A Ordni Permanenti sservi bħala riċetta għall-Virginians kollha li jixtiequ jiksbu Naloxone.  Ir-residenti tal-Virginia issa jistgħu jitolbu Naloxone direttament mill-ispiżerija mingħajr ma jkollhom għalfejn iżuru lit-tabib jew lill-fornitur mediku tagħhom l-ewwel.

​

Naloxone, mediċina bir-riċetta, hija mediċina antagonista ta 'l-opjojdi li ireġġa' lura l-effetti li l-opjojdi għandhom fil-moħħ. Meta persuna tieħu doża eċċessiva ta 'opjojdi, l-opjojdi jegħleb riċetturi speċifiċi fil-moħħ, bil-mod inaqqas ir-respirazzjoni u r-rata tal-qalb qabel ma finalment iwaqqafha għal kollox. Naloxone għandu affinità għolja ħafna għal dawn ir-riċetturi u effettivament jimbotta l-opjojdi mir-riċettur tal-moħħ. Din l-azzjoni tippermetti li l-ġisem ta 'persuna jerġa' jibda n-nifs. Naloxone ilu jintuża għal snin minn tekniċi mediċi ta 'emerġenza u tobba tal-kamra tal-emerġenza biex ireġġgħu lura emerġenzi ta' doża eċċessiva ta 'opjojdi. Barra minn dan l-iskop singular, naloxone m'għandu l-ebda effett fuq il-ġisem, u ma joħloq l-ebda periklu għal kull min aċċidentalment jamministrah lilhom infushom jew lil xi ħadd ieħor.

Naloxone huwa rispons ippruvat tas-saħħa pubblika għall-epidemija ta 'emerġenzi ta' doża eċċessiva ta 'opjojdi. Iċ-Ċentri għall-Kontroll u l-Prevenzjoni tal-Mard jindikaw li mill-1996, meta ġie implimentat l-ewwel programm li jqassam naloxone lil Lay Rescuers (it-terminoloġija ta 'REVIVE! għal membri tal-komunità li ġew imħarrġa dwar l-amministrazzjoni ta' naloxone), 152,283 persuna rċevew taħriġ dwar l-amministrazzjoni ta 'naloxone. Dawk l-individwi salvaw 26,463 ħajja billi amministraw naloxone lil individwi li kienu qed jesperjenzaw emerġenza ta 'doża eċċessiva ta' opjojdi.
