What an insult to our harm reduction movement and elders who fought so hard for naloxone and fentanyl test strip access. Check out the atrocious language in the latest letter from SAMHSA claiming these tools are "not harm reduction." www.samhsa.gov/sites/defaul...

In recent years, the life-saving opioid overdose reversal medications (OORMs), naloxone and nalmefene, have been lumped into an ideological concept of harm reduction which has been used to advocate for policies that are incompatible with federal laws and inconsistent with this Administration's priorities.
