In recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day this month, harm reductionist Van Asher talks about the impact of overdose in his own life as well as the ripple effect it has on communities. Thank you for sharing your experience, Van.

Today we recognize #IOAD by remembering those we have lost, those who remember them, those who have come back, and those who dedicate their lives to ending overdose. No matter where you fall, we send you love. We are proud to stand alongside this community in the fight to save lives compassionately.

On International Harm Reduction Day, we remember that we’re not alone in the global effort for equitable care, dignity & compassion for all without judgment. (cont. in comments)

The misconception that high doses of naloxone are necessary to reverse a fentanyl overdose can lead to unnecessarily painful precipitated withdrawal symptoms and long-term naloxone avoidance for people who have experienced an overdose (cont in comments).

When naloxone blocks the opioid from reaching the receptors in the brain, breathing is restored, the overdose is reversed, and a life is saved. But this is often a really difficult experience for the person who overdosed, especially when too high a dose of naloxone is used. (cont. in comments)

We see caregivers through the eyes of RiVive.🩶 Using a 3 mg naloxone nasal spray has a ripple effect that impacts those who administer it and are responsible for the wellbeing of the person who overdosed. That’s why compassionate dosing matters to the person who’s overdosed and their caregivers.

The Hippocratic Oath and Compassionate Overdose Response™️ are deeply intertwined - both are guided by care and respect for the patient above all. RiVive’s 3 mg naloxone nasal spray is an effective way to reverse opioid overdose while minimizing harm.🤝⚕️

This month is Mental Health Awareness Month, which means we’re thinking about the mental wellbeing of everyone in our communities, regardless of your story. This year’s theme resonated with us since our core belief is that everyone deserves another day on Earth with their loved ones.🩶

Waiting for someone to regain consciousness during an overdose can be frightening. We see you and the anxiety of that moment. Waiting the correct amount of time between administering each dose of naloxone is crucial...(cont. in threads)

The most compassionate choice you can make is a low dose option like RiVive 3 mg naloxone nasal spray or a 0.4 mg/1ml intramuscular naloxone syringe to reverse an overdose. Let’s not make their experience more distressing by using too much naloxone.🤝

@ KevinHincksCS : "The federal government is down 348,000 jobs. That's an 11.5% cut in the federal workforce. Despite that, jobs are gaining. It's ALL PRIVATE SECTOR. It's quite amazing, actually." The federal government is the smallest it's been since 1966. TRUMP EFFECT! 🔥 ht RapidResponse47

In de Volkskrant stond dit weekend een analyse over wat de asielprotesten zeggen over de normalisering van extreemrechts. Welke strategie schuilt er achter deze demonstraties? Hoofdredacteur Pieter Klok van de Volkskrant reageert:

Add $250 bill to the list of items that Trump has decided needs his face plastered across it. Sam Stein and Will Sommer brainstorm different faces for Trump to make on future items he decides to rebrand after himself in the latest special episode of "MAGA Mondays" (on Thursday).

They clutched pearls over Dijon mustard. Over Billy Beer. Over Hunter repaying a truck loan. But Trump’s family is looting the Treasury in real time and Republicans are silent. Their selective outrage was never about ethics. It was always about power.
