A new Free resource is now available in Houston to help stop drug overdoses. In Houston, someone is killed by fentanyl every 32 hours, according to UT Health Houston. To help those struggling UTHealth’s HEROES program is a partnership with several departments, like Houston Fire and EMS. Those struggling with drug dependence, or their loved ones, can call the program for help. HEROES even goes door to door, following up on 911 calls after someone survives an overdose, and offer help with the life-saving drug Narcan for free.
