Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, Jericho Road Community Health Center and Best Self are coming together to share an important message: harm reduction saves lives.
In this video, Leah, RN, from Jericho Road Community Health Center, joins Eseosa, DNP, from Best Self, to walk us through how to recognize an opioid overdose, how to administer Narcan, and why carrying it can make all the difference. You’ll also get a look inside Best Response Intensive Crisis Stabilization Center, a program of Best Self that provides immediate support for people experiencing a behavioral health or substance use crisis.
Best Response is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, serving individuals across the lifespan, from age 5 through age 92. Best Self also operates the WNY Opioid Addiction Hotline, connecting adults 18+ to rapid access to Medication Assisted Treatment. There are no barriers to treatment. Insurance is not required, and medication vouchers are available for those who are uninsured.
