Province-Wide Alert for Newfoundland: Toxic Drug Supply
Our province is currently experiencing increased harms due to the increasing toxicity of the
unregulated drug supply.
There has been a higher than-usual number of suspected opioid overdose-related deaths driven by the use of tainted substances with unknown strength and purity.
The widespread presence of highly toxic opioids, such as fentanyl and its analogues, poses a substantial threat.
Please check out our Safer Drug Use page and Overdose Prevention page to learn how to use as safely as possible.
