Rochester , N.Y. - Monroe County 's new "Stop the Stigma" campaign aims to end the stigma surrounding addiction.
"A lot of folks will tell us that the alley behind us is called 'Overdose Alley'," explained Deborah Leach, the addiction services outreach supervisor for Monroe County. "We get data from 911 and EMS. 'Where are substances being sold? Where does the community need us the most?' That’s where we set up and that’s where we target," said Leach. "We come out here every Friday. We are on Lyell Avenue, and we spend most of the day here. We give out Narcan kits, fentanyl test strips, xylazine test strips, alcohol prep pads, and gauze."
"We can truly understand what they’ve gone through. We can share what’s worked for us," she said. "We want people to know that there is support available to them, that we’re here to talk to them, to love on them, and give them what they need."in Monroe County, one of which is at Flash Hair Designs on Genesee Street.
