In response to the ongoing opioid crisis—including the toxic drug supply, which affects not only those with addiction but anyone using substances—TRU continues to expand its overdose prevention efforts. Unintentional overdose remains the leading preventable cause of death in B.C., highlighting the critical need for widespread awareness and access to life-saving interventions like naloxone.
