Opioids are a class of drugs that include the illegal drug heroin, synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, and prescription pain relievers such as oxycodone (oxyContin), hydrocodone (Vicodin), codeine and morphine. When used correctly, prescription opioids can be useful for treating acute (short-term) pain. However, misusing opioids can lead to tolerance, addiction and fatal overdoses.
Did you know that naloxone (Narcan) is a drug that can restore breathing in someone who has overdosed on opiates? You can get your own free Narcan kit and learn how to use this life saving medication in minutes. In an Emergency, call 911 right away. All EMS, law enforcement and most fire personnel in Siskiyou County carry Narcan.
For Barry from Yreka, drugs and alcohol had always been a way of life. After a surgery, he became hooked on Norco. He was sick all the time and didn’t do anything unless on drugs. One day, he courageously decided to get help. Barry’s been clean and sober since 2017, and has never been happier. He hopes his story will help someone lost in a life of drugs and alcohol.
