Courtesy-ASAP FB page COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Alliance of Substance Abuse Progress (ASAP), the Columbus Police Department (CPD), the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO), and the Columbus Mayor’s office issued a joint warning to citizens of the county due to a recent spike in overdose deaths. During the first four months of 2021, CPD and BCSO responded to more drug overdoses and “suspected” overdoses than during this same period in previous years. “With overdose numbers rising, we feel the public should exercise extreme caution when it comes to substances and carry NARCAN® as a lifesaving precaution,” said Doug Leonard, Executive Director of ASAP. NARCAN®, an opioid overdose reversal, is available with no questions asked, at the ASAP Hub, in the United Way Center, 1531 13th Street.
