Prevention and Naloxone (Narcan) Resources
Game of Chance
Accidental overdose deaths can happen when using and mixing pain medications (polysubstance use) with other drugs and alcohol. This includes fentanyl whether taken knowingly or not. It is never safe because the combination may be stronger or more unpredictable than one drug alone.
People may use different drugs and alcohol to change the effect of another drug. This can be a risky game of chance. This is also known as polysubstance use and applies to prescription drugs.

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Resources
Tailored to meet each person’s needs, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling to treat opioid substance use to both prescription pain relievers and heroin. Opioid substance use is a chronic disease, like heart disease or diabetes that can’t be cured, but it can be managed to help a person with opioid substance use regain a healthy, productive life. People can’t just walk away from opioid substance use – they need help.
