Ingredients
While many harm reduction and prevention efforts tend to focus on opioid use or Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), this training expands on harm reduction strategies for people who use stimulants or have Stimulant Use Disorder (StimUD). This includes responding to overamping, the term we use to describe an adverse physical and/or mental reaction after using stimulants. The goal of this training is to inform community members and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) service providers on the basics of stimulant use and how to respond to stimulant overamping.
