Leaders of the Bronx Opioid Collective told Bronxnet that their network of 20+ organizations has distributed more than 700,000 harm-reduction items and made 1,000+ referrals since 2017, and that recent xylazine contamination requires new wound-care and oxygen-focused responses in addition to naloxone.
