Experts Say...

Sam Allen, Dougherty County's EMS Director, said that with people in the area already addicted to street drugs, fentanyl is worsening the situation. "People just don't know what they're getting, and the magnitude of the fentanyl is causing a worse situation." Allen explained that fentanyl can quickly put someone into cardiac arrest and urged residents not to wait to call 911. He warned that many street drugs are manufactured to look like legitimate pills. He encourages anyone struggling to reach out to law enforcement or one of many local organizations.

Government Efforts to Address Drug Problems in Albany, GA and Dougherty County

The Dougherty County Health Department advises Albany and county residents to learn the signs of an opioid overdose. Residents who spot the signs and symptoms of an overdose, like pinpoint pupils, respiratory depression, blue lips, or choking sounds, are urged to administer naloxone if it's available. Naloxone works to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Albany and Dougherty County residents ages 18 and older can obtain naloxone at various pharmacies throughout the county and state of Georgia, thanks to a standing order for the drug from the Commissioner.

Community Efforts to Address Drug Problems in Albany, GA

In 2018, Jessie Blanchard of Albany began small, trying to keep enough naloxone on hand to save her daughter from a fatal overdose. She urged her coworkers to use their prescription benefits for two naloxone doses every six months. In 2023, Blanchard and some volunteers now fill up her jeep weekly to distribute naloxone throughout Albany. She also supplies clean needles and fentanyl test strips. In December 2022 alone, the naloxone she provided saved at least nine lives.

Efficient Mobile Clinic
Star Rating
By Elizabeth M. on 3/18/2017
Was able to find the place after a little effort. Was mobile and needed one before the day was out. Eventually found the clinic and they were nice enough to call to get the order number. I used a collection site in Albany GA for 10 panel drug screen.
