Corporal Brian Villers said he could not confirm the exact cause of death until an autopsy was completed, but it appeared to be due to an overdose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Villers says this is the only sudden death reported to the Sackville detachment recently that is suspected of being an overdose. However, support workers have reported a string of overdoses in nearby Moncton recently, all seemingly connected to a similar substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-high-risk-synthetic-opioid-in-circulation\">High risk synthetic opioid in circulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Debby Warren is the executive director of Ensemble Moncton, an organization which specializes in harm reduction for people using drugs and suffering from addiction. Warren says there is a dangerous supply of a synthetic opioid pills called Shady 8s circulating in the region. The pills get their name from the pharmaceutical-grade pill they are manufactured to imitate, Dilaudid 8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/isotonitazene_HRP.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"259\" height=\"195\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/isotonitazene_HRP.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9247\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Image of isotonatizene pills posing as Dilaudid, which go by the street name Shady 8s, included in a warning issued by Halifax police in March 2020. Image: Halifax Regional Police<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warren says she knows of six recent overdoses in Moncton all connected to a similar substance, all in people who survived with the help of a drug called Naloxone and having people nearby to administer it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know this six here in the Moncton area are all from the same substance, all clearly much more potent than normal,\u201d says Warren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naloxone is a medication used to rapidly reverse the effects of opioids, by actually blocking opiate receptors in the brain. Ensemble distributes Naloxone kits through a number of methods, including harm reduction vending machines, one of which operates in downtown Sackville inside the Main Street doors of the United Church. The kits are available for free, along with a number of other useful items from condoms to snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Debby-Warren.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Debby-Warren.jpg\" alt=\"Debby Warren stands next to an interactive dispensing service machine.\" class=\"wp-image-7716\" width=\"650\" height=\"617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Debby-Warren.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Debby-Warren-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Debby-Warren-768x729.jpg 768w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Ensemble&#8217;s executive director, Debby Warren, was amazed by the machines the moment she saw them. Photo by Ensemble Moncton.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2021, Ensemble distributed 757 naloxone kits, up from 251 the year before. And the demand appears to be growing. \u201cWe really upped the distribution of our kits,&#8221; says Warren. &#8220;We had 75 ordered two weeks ago, I just ordered another 50 the other day. We&#8217;re just doing our best to keep them in stock and make sure people have them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naloxone does need to be administered quickly in the case of an overdose, and so it\u2019s important for people who are taking non-pharmaceutical grade drugs to have a kit with them, as well as someone capable of administering it, says Warren. Ensemble has a harm reduction educator who has been teaching people how to use the kits, but the funding for that position ran out on March 31, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RCMP can\u2019t say if dangerous supply of Shady 8s is being investigated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RCMP spokesperson Hans Ouellette says that the police service doesn\u2019t usually issue public warnings about specific batches of illegal substances that might be circulating, even if they are known to be dangerous. \u201cWhat we usually say, and what we continue to say, is that illicit drugs are dangerous,\u201d says Ouellette. \u201cAnd we don&#8217;t recommend anyone to take illicit drugs, and to stay away from them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those addicted to substances, Ouellette recommends reaching out to health or social services. \u201cThere&#8217;s many services out there, in the health authorities, social service workers, your doctor, or any addiction services can help you with your addiction,\u201d says Ouellette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ouellette doesn\u2019t rule out warnings coming from the RCMP for specific types of drugs, and says the force has communicated about the dangers of fentanyl in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But when it comes to the current supply of dangerous Shady 8s, the force has yet to issue a warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ouellette would not say whether or not the force is investigating or trying to track down this particularly dangerous supply of Shady 8s, because \u201cwe don&#8217;t usually talk about investigations unless charges are laid.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn general, we want the public to know that this stuff is out there, and to be wary of that,\u201d says Ouellette. \u201cAnd we continue to fight the trafficking of that stuff here in the province. And we just want anyone who has information to contact their local police force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big picture: the demand for illegal opiates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warren says the opiate crisis being experienced in varying degrees across North America was created by the overprescription of legal, regulated opioids, and then the subsequent change of course. \u201cOnce they realized, oh, we shouldn&#8217;t be prescribing so many opioids, they went and reduced the number of prescriptions,\u201d says Warren, \u201cmaking it harder to get pharmaceutical grade. And they did nothing extra to help those who were already addicted\u2026 And so we pushed them to the street, right? Where else would they have to go?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The demand created by overprescribing didn\u2019t go away with the withdrawal of legitimate supply, and instead spawned a thriving illegal supply industry. And it&#8217;s a supply that is unpredictable and unreliable, distributing sometimes dangerous substances like Shady 8s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don&#8217;t know how many chemists are behind the scenes making those illicit substances,\u201d says Warren, \u201cbut I probably could say there&#8217;s not a whole lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is why in our business we talk about safe supply,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Safe supply is the term for a legal and regulated alternative to the illegal drug supply. Warren says that Ensemble hopes to open an opioid replacement program in Moncton similar to one currently running in Fredericton, which is one of five pilots across the country. The idea is people suffering from addiction can come, consult with medical professionals, and be prescribed what they need. In addition to removing the risk of tainted or dangerous substances, the secure access would create the stability that is needed for recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the illegal, unsafe drug supply is not only dangerous for people suffering from addiction. It\u2019s also potentially life-threatening for people experimenting, using drugs recreationally or for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warren says there\u2019s a wider question we need to keep in mind if the goal is to reduce the prominence of dangerous drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy are people using drugs? That&#8217;s the question we need to ask,\u201c says Warren. \u201cAnd how do we address that? Because when we work to address that, then we can diminish the need to have people selling illicit substances made in someone&#8217;s garage or basement that&#8217;s killing people. That&#8217;s when those needs go away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warren says many of the reasons people are compelled to substance use are related to trauma and mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you take the time to listen, you will start to see it&#8217;s trauma,\u201d says Warren, also pointing to reports of anxiety and stress run rampant in young people. Some will look for relief from their pain in the form of substance use, says Warren, unless they can get help elsewhere, through health or community supports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe just need to make sure we have options,\u201d says Warren, \u201cbecause it&#8217;s not cookie cutter either. We need to have options for people, and it needs to be low barrier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe really have a huge job to do and it won&#8217;t go away overnight,\u201d says Warren. \u201cAnd in the meantime, here we are in this mess.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get a Naloxone kit check out the vending machine in the Main Street doors of the United Church in Sackville, or call Ensemble Moncton at 506-859-9616.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young man died Friday night in Sackville from a suspected overdose.
