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.

復活！

阿片類藥物過量和納洛酮教育 (OONE)

弗吉尼亞聯邦

​

美國紅杉諮詢（ARC）提供free 復活！關於如何使用納洛酮 (Narcan®) 識別和應對阿片類藥物過量緊急情況的培訓。  REVIVE！是由弗吉尼亞行為健康和發展服務部 (DBHDS) 與弗吉尼亞衛生部、弗吉尼亞衛生專業部和康復社區組織共同領導的一項合作努力。

​

救援人員培訓

  •  1 - 1.5 小時

  •  了解阿片類藥物

  •  阿片類藥物如何 過量服用

  •  阿片類藥物過量的風險因素

  •  如何使用納洛酮應對阿片類藥物過量的緊急情況 

​

*不是 只是為了上癮的人。 

如果您或您所愛的人開了強效麻醉止痛藥，您應該手頭有納洛酮。 

納洛酮 - 弗吉尼亞全州常規規定： A 常規規定是所有希望獲得納洛酮的弗吉尼亞人的處方。  弗吉尼亞州居民現在可以直接從藥房申請納洛酮，而無需先去看醫生或醫療服務提供者。

​

納洛酮是一種處方藥，是一種阿片拮抗劑藥物，可以逆轉阿片類藥物對大腦的影響。當一個人過量服用阿片類藥物時，阿片類藥物會壓倒大腦中的特定受體，緩慢降低呼吸和心率，最終完全停止。納洛酮對這些受體具有非常高的親和力，可以有效地將阿片類藥物推離大腦受體。這個動作可以讓一個人的身體恢復呼吸。多年來，緊急醫療技術人員和急診室醫生一直使用納洛酮來逆轉阿片類藥物過量的緊急情況。除了這個單一的目的之外，納洛酮對身體沒有任何影響，並且不會對任何不小心將其服用給自己或其他人的人造成危險。

納洛酮是對阿片類藥物過量緊急情況流行的一種公認的公共衛生應對措施。疾病控制和預防中心指出，自 1996 年第一個向非專業救援人員分發納洛酮（REVIVE！針對接受過納洛酮給藥培訓的社區成員的術語）的計劃實施以來，已有 152,283 人接受了納洛酮給藥培訓。這些人通過給經歷阿片類藥物過量緊急情況的人服用納洛酮，挽救了 26,463 條生命。
