Drug Checking
Other Services
Through a partnership with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, on-site drug checking is available using a combination of technologies.
This includes Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and immunoassay test strips, including fentanyl, morphine, cocaine, benzodiazepine, xylazine, ketamine, and methamphetamine. Secondary verification testing with a partner laboratory provides quality assurance and can provide more information about a sample.
Participants and staff bring samples of drugs used in the OPC or community settings to be tested before use, as a harm reduction measure, or after a severe adverse reaction, such as overdose or skin issues. Testing helps inform public health interventions to the changing drug supply and enables us to counsel participants about adulterants in the supply that can lead to adverse health outcomes.
