This week`s recovery theme is #honesty. Honesty plays a large part in treatment and recovery. Honesty promotes trust among peers, aids in building strong bond, promotes healthy coping mechanisms, and enables us to take accountability for our feelings, thoughts, and actions. While it can be tempting to revert to old, dishonest tendencies, leading with honesty will promote a successful recovery.

As we approach #OverdoseAwarenessDay, it`s crucial that we equip ourselves with the knowledge that can truly save lives. Identifying an overdose and administering Narcan can mean the difference between life and death. Swipe or see below for some key steps:
1️⃣ Recognize the Signs: Be aware of the signs of an overdose, which can include slow or irregular breathing, blue lips or fingertips, unresponsiveness, and pinpoint pupils. Trust your instincts; if something doesn`t seem right, it`s better to act.
2️⃣ Call 911: If you suspect someone is overdosing, call for emergency help immediately. Time is critical in these situations.
3️⃣ Administer Narcan: If you have access to Narcan (naloxone), it can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Narcan is available as a nasal spray and is relatively easy to use. Follow the instructions carefully, and remember that it`s safe to administer even if you`re not sure it`s an overdose – it won`t harm someone who isn`t overdosing on opioids.
4️⃣ Stay with the Person: After administering Narcan, stay with the person and monitor their breathing. Be prepared to administer another dose if necessary.
