UTII NA UCHUNGUZI
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.

Ushauri wa Redwood wa Marekani (ARC) hutoa bure FUFUA! mafunzo ya jinsi ya kutambua na kukabiliana na dharura ya overdose ya opioid kwa usimamizi wa naloxone (Narcan ®). REVIVE! ni juhudi shirikishi zinazoongozwa na Idara ya Virginia ya Huduma za Afya na Maendeleo ya Tabia (DBHDS) inayofanya kazi pamoja na Idara ya Afya ya Virginia, Idara ya Taaluma za Afya ya Virginia, na mashirika ya jamii ya kurejesha afya.

Jinsi ya kujibu dharura ya opioid overdose na usimamizi wa Naloxone
*Siyo tu kwa watu walio na uraibu.
Ikiwa wewe au mpendwa umeagizwa dawa za kutuliza maumivu za narcotic zenye nguvu, unapaswa kuwa na naloxone mkononi.
Naloxone - Agizo la Kudumu la Jimbo lote la Virginia: A Agizo la Kudumu hutumika kama agizo kwa Wagirginia wote ambao wangependa kupata Naloxone. Virginia wakazi sasa wanaweza kuomba Naloxone moja kwa moja kutoka kwa duka la dawa bila kulazimika kumtembelea daktari au mtoa huduma za matibabu kwanza.
Naloxone, dawa iliyoagizwa na daktari, ni dawa ya mpinzani wa opioid ambayo inabadilisha athari ambazo opioid zina katika ubongo. Mtu anapotumia afyuni kupita kiasi, afyuni hiyo hulemea vipokezi maalum kwenye ubongo, na hivyo kupunguza polepole upumuaji na mapigo ya moyo kabla ya kusimamisha kabisa. Naloxone ina mshikamano wa juu sana kwa vipokezi hivi na inasukuma kwa ufanisi opioid kutoka kwenye kipokezi cha ubongo. Kitendo hiki huruhusu mwili wa mtu kuanza tena kupumua. Naloxone imekuwa ikitumiwa kwa miaka mingi na mafundi wa matibabu ya dharura na madaktari wa chumba cha dharura ili kubadilisha dharura ya overdose ya opioid. Nje ya madhumuni haya ya pekee, naloxone haina athari kwa mwili, na haileti hatari kwa mtu yeyote ambaye anaisimamia yeye mwenyewe au mtu mwingine kimakosa.
Naloxone ni jibu lililothibitishwa la afya ya umma kwa janga la dharura za overdose ya opioid. Vituo vya Kudhibiti na Kuzuia Magonjwa vinaonyesha kuwa tangu 1996, wakati programu ya kwanza ya kusambaza naloxone kwa Waokoaji Walei (REVIVE! istilahi ya wanajamii ambao wamefunzwa kuhusu usimamizi wa naloxone) ilipotekelezwa, watu 152,283 walipata mafunzo ya kusimamia naloxone. Watu hao wameokoa maisha ya 26,463 kwa kusimamia naloxone kwa watu ambao walikuwa wakipitia dharura ya opioid overdose.
