1 Roman Way, Cape Town, 06 August 2022, Our annual campaign aimed at the youth begins early this year. The campaigns provide information about the prevalence and dangers of fentanyl, the risks and consequences of mixing drugs, the life-saving power of naloxone, and the importance of reducing stigma around drug use to support treatment and recovery.
'' This is all aimed directly with young adults who reported using drugs, as well as peer recovery professionals, to develop the campaigns. Each campaign includes new resources on all four topics to help people make informed decisions, get the help they need, and ultimately reduce the rise in drug overdoses and overdose deaths'' said Richard Gerber the Drug Counselling Centre spokesperson
The event will be a week long program filled with information and help for those who are ready to accept it.
“Addiction is a treatable disease,” said Nicole Van Vuren, founder of the Drug Counselling Centre’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. “And while recovery is not always a straight path forward, it is possible. Talking with a healthcare provider to develop a treatment plan that works best for that individual and connecting to other services and supports can aid recovery.”
