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.

BUHAYIN!

Opioid Overdose at Naloxone Education (OONE) para sa

Commonwealth ng Virginia

​

Nagbibigay ang American Redwood Consulting (ARC) ng libreng BUHAYIN! pagsasanay sa kung paano makilala at tumugon sa isang opioid overdose emergency sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng naloxone (Narcan ®).  REVIVE! ay isang collaborative na pagsisikap na pinamumunuan ng Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) na nagtatrabaho kasama ng Virginia Department of Health, ang Virginia Department of Health Professions, at mga recovery community organization.

​

Pagsasanay sa Lay Rescuer

  •  1 - 1.5 oras

  •  Pag-unawa sa mga Opioid

  •  Paano nangyayari ang opioid overdoses

  •  Mga salik sa panganib para sa labis na dosis ng opioid

  •  Paano tumugon sa isang emergency na overdose ng opioid sa pamamagitan ng pangangasiwa ng Naloxone 

​

*HINDI para lang sa mga taong adik. 

Kung ikaw o ang isang mahal sa buhay ay niresetahan ng makapangyarihang narcotic painkiller, dapat ay mayroon kang naloxone. 

Naloxone - Virginia Statewide Standing Order:  A Standing order ay nagsisilbing reseta para sa lahat ng Virginians na gustong kumuha ng Naloxone.  Ang mga residente ng Virginia ay maaari na ngayong humiling ng Naloxone nang direkta mula sa parmasya nang hindi na kailangang bisitahin muna ang kanilang doktor o tagapagkaloob ng medikal.

​

Ang Naloxone, isang inireresetang gamot, ay isang opioid antagonist na gamot na binabaligtad ang mga epekto ng opioid sa utak. Kapag ang isang tao ay nag-overdose sa opioids, ang opioid ay nalulupig ang mga partikular na receptor sa utak, dahan-dahang binabawasan ang paghinga at tibok ng puso bago ito tuluyang ihinto. Ang Naloxone ay may napakataas na pagkakaugnay para sa mga receptor na ito at epektibong itinutulak ang opioid mula sa receptor ng utak. Ang pagkilos na ito ay nagpapahintulot sa katawan ng isang tao na ipagpatuloy ang paghinga. Ang Naloxone ay ginamit nang maraming taon ng mga emergency medical technician at mga doktor sa emergency room upang baligtarin ang mga emergency na overdose sa opioid. Sa labas ng tanging layuning ito, ang naloxone ay walang epekto sa katawan, at hindi nagdudulot ng panganib sa sinumang hindi sinasadyang ibigay ito sa kanilang sarili o sa ibang tao.

Ang Naloxone ay isang napatunayang tugon sa kalusugan ng publiko sa epidemya ng mga emergency na overdose ng opioid. Isinasaad ng Centers for Disease Control and Prevention na mula noong 1996, nang ang unang programa para sa pamamahagi ng naloxone sa Lay Rescuers (terminolohiya ng REVIVE! para sa mga miyembro ng komunidad na sinanay sa pangangasiwa ng naloxone) ay ipinatupad, 152,283 katao ang nakatanggap ng pagsasanay sa pangangasiwa ng naloxone. Ang mga indibidwal na iyon ay nakapagligtas ng 26,463 na buhay sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng naloxone sa mga indibidwal na nakakaranas ng emergency na overdose ng opioid.
