The Robin Foundation, a non-profit led by the passionate Chris Cavallo has added another feather to their hat, as the organization was recently certified by the Florida Department of Children and Family Services on October 7th. The recent feat will make the organization a certified distributor for NARCAN, a further reiteration of the foundations commitment to helping addicts get their lives back.
According to the CDC Nearly 841,000 people have died since 1999 from a drug overdose. In 2019, 70,630 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States. The age-adjusted rate of overdose deaths increased by over 4% from 2018 (20.7 per 100,000) to 2019 (21.6 per 100,000).
The figures show that overdoses due to opioids and especially with fentanyl are at pandemic level. Consequently, several initiatives have been put in place to save more lives and The Robin Foundation aims to contribute to the cause, with their efforts recognized by several bodies, including the Florida Department of Children and Family Service.
The certification will further enable the organization to achieve their goal of reducing the cases of drug overdoses to the barest minimum, with members of the organization going out and meeting with those addicts that are still using drugs and need Narcan in their possession.
The Robin Foundation is committed to saving lives and giving the needy a message of hope and effectively guiding them on their way to recovering from the disease of addiction. The recent certification will enable members of the foundation to engage with those in active addiction and assist them and guiding them to a path of recovery whether it’s for detox or introducing those in need to recovery meetings such as Narcotics Anonymous. The foundation will also be passing out Narcan to local businesses which will be enclosed in red emergency cabinets for their employees and guests of establishments, such as faith-based organizations, restaurants, and retail stores.
