The Crawford Partnership to End Substance Misuse partnered with the Crawford Commission on Aging to provide the elderly clients with substance misuse prevention items. Each client was given a bag containing Narcan, Deterra (for safe medication disposal), local resources for the community, and a stress ball fidget. They were thankful and interested in the items, as well as what the Coalition is doing in the community. Accidental overdoses are increasing, making it crucial to ensure that our elderly community members have access to Narcan in case of taking the wrong medication or an accidental overdose. The Deterra is very helpful for those who are house bound, as it destroys unused or unwanted medication.
