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.

I-Naloxone - I-oda Elimile Lesifunda SaseVirginia:  A I-oda elimile lisebenza njengencwadi kadokotela kubo bonke abantu base-Virginia abangathanda ukuthola i-Naloxone.  Virginia izakhamuzi manje zingacela i-Naloxone ngokuqondile ekhemisi ngaphandle kokuthi zivakashele udokotela wazo noma umhlinzeki wezokwelapha kuqala.

I-Naloxone, imithi kadokotela, iyisidakamizwa esiphikisana ne-opioid esibuyisela emuva imiphumela i-opioid enayo ebuchosheni. Lapho umuntu ephuza ngokweqile kuma-opioid, i-opioid idlula ama-receptors athile ebuchosheni, yehla kancane ukuphefumula nokushaya kwenhliziyo ngaphambi kokuyimisa ngokuphelele. I-Naloxone inobudlelwane obuphezulu kakhulu kulawa ma-receptor futhi iphusha ngempumelelo i-opioid ku-brain receptor. Lesi senzo sivumela umzimba womuntu ukuthi uphinde uphefumule. I-Naloxone isetshenziswe iminyaka ochwepheshe bezokwelapha eziphuthumayo kanye nodokotela begumbi lezimo eziphuthumayo ukuze bahlehlise izimo eziphuthumayo ze-opioid overdose. Ngaphandle kwale njongo eyodwa, i-naloxone ayinawo umthelela emzimbeni, futhi ayifaki ingozi kunoma ubani ozinikeza yona ngephutha noma omunye umuntu.

I-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ibonisa ukuthi kusukela ngo-1996, lapho uhlelo lokuqala lokusabalalisa i-naloxone ku-Lay Rescuers (REVIVE!'s terminology yamalungu omphakathi aqeqeshwe ngokuphathwa kwe-naloxone) lwenziwa, abantu abangu-152,283 bathola ukuqeqeshwa ngokuphatha i-naloxone. Labo bantu basindise izimpilo ze-26,463 ngokunikeza i-naloxone kubantu ababebhekene nesimo esiphuthumayo se-opioid overdose.
