You may be aware that very strong synthetic opioids known as Nitazenes are posing additional risk to people who use drugs in the UK and testing recently confirmed the presence of Nitazenes in York. Anyone can carry Naloxone, the antidote that buys time in the case of an opiate overdose, and access free training on how to use it (see York Naloxone Knights flyer).
