Your sample is not affected through the testing process, so you get it back, unharmed, after the test. \r\n\r\nYou have the choice of a short scan or a longer (approximately 15 minute) scan that is more thorough. You will receive your results while you wait!  The whole process is confidential.\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why Testing?</h3>\r\n\r\nTesting provides people who use drugs a way to have more information about the substance they’re planning to use. When the machine tests your substance, the device can tell you the strength, what other kinds of drugs/substances may be present, as well as the cut used. \r\n\r\nThe overdose crisis has shown that there is a very toxic drug supply locally and that it is cut with an array of different drugs and chemical fillers that may add to the drugs’ toxicity. \r\n\r\nFor example, you may think you have purchased an opiate and not be aware that there are benzodiazepines or methamphetamines in it. Cocaine is also a common drug that can be laced with opiates or methamphetamines.  \r\n\r\nThe drug checking device can inform you of many of the different substances that are in your sample.\r\n\r\nTesting your drugs gives the power back to you! You can now make an informed decision about whether to use the drugs you have tested.\r\n\r\nIf your sample comes back with an unknown substance in it, you can choose to have us send it to Western University for further testing. This will help our software to learn these new, unknown substances, which in turn will make the drug testing machine more knowledgeable. This extra process will take roughly two weeks. Your name or identity will not be disclosed. \r\n\r\nPlease note: the device isn\'t 100% accurate due to how unevenly dispersed your batch of substance might be. One sample from your batch may be different from another area of the same batch. \r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Substances that can be tested</h3>\r\nAnything in powder, rock, crystalized, tablet or the inner contents of a capsule.

The aim is to allow those who use drugs at safe consumption sites to understand what dangerous fillers and other drugs like fentanyl analogues might be in their sample, so they can make informed decisions about their use.\r\n\r\nThe technology, developed by startup company SCATR Inc. with the support of Western University infrastructure, is being rolled out at 11 safe consumption sites across Ontario, Nova Scotia and B.C. thanks to a new grant from Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP) announced by Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.</blockquote>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2203-01-31-SafeInjection-BlackBoxes-Chemistry013A0633-e1681485980193-495x400.jpg\' attachment=\'2085\' attachment_size=\'portfolio\' copyright=\'\' caption=\'yes\' image_size=\'large\' styling=\'\' align=\'center\' font_size=\'\' overlay_opacity=\'0.4\' overlay_color=\'#000000\' overlay_text_color=\'#ffffff\' animation=\'no-animation\' hover=\'\' appearance=\'\' link=\'\' target=\'\' title_attr=\'\' alt_attr=\'\' img_scrset=\'\' lazy_loading=\'disabled\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_element_hidden_in_editor=\'0\' av_uid=\'av-lkwp96uz\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\nChemistry professor Francois Lagugné-Labarthet (left) is working with a startup company called SCATR Inc., founded by Western grads Ari Forman, BSc’20, (centre) and Alex Boukin.\r\n[/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class=\'invisible\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue808\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' position=\'center\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' height=\'50\' custom_border=\'av-border-thin\' custom_width=\'50px\' custom_margin_top=\'30px\' custom_margin_bottom=\'30px\' custom_border_color=\'\' custom_icon_color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lkwpbea5\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock textblock_styling_align=\'\' textblock_styling=\'\' textblock_styling_gap=\'\' textblock_styling_mobile=\'\' size=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-4okxhe\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Does The Testing Work?</h3>\r\nIn order to test, you only need a very small amount:  2mg, or the size of a half of a match head. Your sample is not affected through the testing process, so you get it back, unharmed, after the test. \r\n\r\nYou have the choice of a short scan or a longer (approximately 15 minute) scan that is more thorough. You will receive your results while you wait!  The whole process is confidential.\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why Testing?</h3>\r\n\r\nTesting provides people who use drugs a way to have more information about the substance they’re planning to use. When the machine tests your substance, the device can tell you the strength, what other kinds of drugs/substances may be present, as well as the cut used. \r\n\r\nThe overdose crisis has shown that there is a very toxic drug supply locally and that it is cut with an array of different drugs and chemical fillers that may add to the drugs’ toxicity. \r\n\r\nFor example, you may think you have purchased an opiate and not be aware that there are benzodiazepines or methamphetamines in it. Cocaine is also a common drug that can be laced with opiates or methamphetamines.  \r\n\r\nThe drug checking device can inform you of many of the different substances that are in your sample.\r\n\r\nTesting your drugs gives the power back to you! You can now make an informed decision about whether to use the drugs you have tested.\r\n\r\nIf your sample comes back with an unknown substance in it, you can choose to have us send it to Western University for further testing. This will help our software to learn these new, unknown substances, which in turn will make the drug testing machine more knowledgeable. This extra process will take roughly two weeks. Your name or identity will not be disclosed. \r\n\r\nPlease note: the device isn\'t 100% accurate due to how unevenly dispersed your batch of substance might be.

The aim is to allow those who use drugs at safe consumption sites to understand what dangerous fillers and other drugs like fentanyl analogues might be in their sample, so they can make informed decisions about their use.\r\n\r\nThe technology, developed by startup company SCATR Inc. with the support of Western University infrastructure, is being rolled out at 11 safe consumption sites across Ontario, Nova Scotia and B.C. thanks to a new grant from Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP) announced by Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.</blockquote>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2203-01-31-SafeInjection-BlackBoxes-Chemistry013A0633-e1681485980193-495x400.jpg\' attachment=\'2085\' attachment_size=\'portfolio\' copyright=\'\' caption=\'yes\' image_size=\'large\' styling=\'\' align=\'center\' font_size=\'\' overlay_opacity=\'0.4\' overlay_color=\'#000000\' overlay_text_color=\'#ffffff\' animation=\'no-animation\' hover=\'\' appearance=\'\' link=\'\' target=\'\' title_attr=\'\' alt_attr=\'\' img_scrset=\'\' lazy_loading=\'disabled\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_element_hidden_in_editor=\'0\' av_uid=\'av-lkwp96uz\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\nChemistry professor Francois Lagugné-Labarthet (left) is working with a startup company called SCATR Inc., founded by Western grads Ari Forman, BSc’20, (centre) and Alex Boukin.\r\n[/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class=\'invisible\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue808\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' position=\'center\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' height=\'50\' custom_border=\'av-border-thin\' custom_width=\'50px\' custom_margin_top=\'30px\' custom_margin_bottom=\'30px\' custom_border_color=\'\' custom_icon_color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lkwpbea5\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock textblock_styling_align=\'\' textblock_styling=\'\' textblock_styling_gap=\'\' textblock_styling_mobile=\'\' size=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-4okxhe\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Does The Testing Work?</h3>\r\nIn order to test, you only need a very small amount:  2mg, or the size of a half of a match head. Your sample is not affected through the testing process, so you get it back, unharmed, after the test. \r\n\r\nYou have the choice of a short scan or a longer (approximately 15 minute) scan that is more thorough. You will receive your results while you wait!  The whole process is confidential.\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why Testing?</h3>\r\n\r\nTesting provides people who use drugs a way to have more information about the substance they’re planning to use. When the machine tests your substance, the device can tell you the strength, what other kinds of drugs/substances may be present, as well as the cut used. \r\n\r\nThe overdose crisis has shown that there is a very toxic drug supply locally and that it is cut with an array of different drugs and chemical fillers that may add to the drugs’ toxicity. \r\n\r\nFor example, you may think you have purchased an opiate and not be aware that there are benzodiazepines or methamphetamines in it. Cocaine is also a common drug that can be laced with opiates or methamphetamines.  \r\n\r\nThe drug checking device can inform you of many of the different substances that are in your sample.\r\n\r\nTesting your drugs gives the power back to you! You can now make an informed decision about whether to use the drugs you have tested.\r\n\r\nIf your sample comes back with an unknown substance in it, you can choose to have us send it to Western University for further testing. This will help our software to learn these new, unknown substances, which in turn will make the drug testing machine more knowledgeable. This extra process will take roughly two weeks. Your name or identity will not be disclosed. \r\n\r\nPlease note: the device isn\'t 100% accurate due to how unevenly dispersed your batch of substance might be.

The aim is to allow those who use drugs at safe consumption sites to understand what dangerous fillers and other drugs like fentanyl analogues might be in their sample, so they can make informed decisions about their use.\r\n\r\nThe technology, developed by startup company SCATR Inc. with the support of Western University infrastructure, is being rolled out at 11 safe consumption sites across Ontario, Nova Scotia and B.C. thanks to a new grant from Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP) announced by Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.</blockquote>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2203-01-31-SafeInjection-BlackBoxes-Chemistry013A0633-e1681485980193-495x400.jpg\' attachment=\'2085\' attachment_size=\'portfolio\' copyright=\'\' caption=\'yes\' image_size=\'large\' styling=\'\' align=\'center\' font_size=\'\' overlay_opacity=\'0.4\' overlay_color=\'#000000\' overlay_text_color=\'#ffffff\' animation=\'no-animation\' hover=\'\' appearance=\'\' link=\'\' target=\'\' title_attr=\'\' alt_attr=\'\' img_scrset=\'\' lazy_loading=\'disabled\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_element_hidden_in_editor=\'0\' av_uid=\'av-lkwp96uz\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\nChemistry professor Francois Lagugné-Labarthet (left) is working with a startup company called SCATR Inc., founded by Western grads Ari Forman, BSc’20, (centre) and Alex Boukin.\r\n[/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class=\'invisible\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue808\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' position=\'center\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' height=\'50\' custom_border=\'av-border-thin\' custom_width=\'50px\' custom_margin_top=\'30px\' custom_margin_bottom=\'30px\' custom_border_color=\'\' custom_icon_color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lkwpbea5\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock textblock_styling_align=\'\' textblock_styling=\'\' textblock_styling_gap=\'\' textblock_styling_mobile=\'\' size=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-4okxhe\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Does The Testing Work?</h3>\r\nIn order to test, you only need a very small amount:  2mg, or the size of a half of a match head. Your sample is not affected through the testing process, so you get it back, unharmed, after the test. \r\n\r\nYou have the choice of a short scan or a longer (approximately 15 minute) scan that is more thorough. You will receive your results while you wait!  The whole process is confidential.\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why Testing?</h3>\r\n\r\nTesting provides people who use drugs a way to have more information about the substance they’re planning to use. When the machine tests your substance, the device can tell you the strength, what other kinds of drugs/substances may be present, as well as the cut used. \r\n\r\nThe overdose crisis has shown that there is a very toxic drug supply locally and that it is cut with an array of different drugs and chemical fillers that may add to the drugs’ toxicity. \r\n\r\nFor example, you may think you have purchased an opiate and not be aware that there are benzodiazepines or methamphetamines in it. Cocaine is also a common drug that can be laced with opiates or methamphetamines.  \r\n\r\nThe drug checking device can inform you of many of the different substances that are in your sample.\r\n\r\nTesting your drugs gives the power back to you! You can now make an informed decision about whether to use the drugs you have tested.\r\n\r\nIf your sample comes back with an unknown substance in it, you can choose to have us send it to Western University for further testing. This will help our software to learn these new, unknown substances, which in turn will make the drug testing machine more knowledgeable. This extra process will take roughly two weeks. Your name or identity will not be disclosed. \r\n\r\nPlease note: the device isn\'t 100% accurate due to how unevenly dispersed your batch of substance might be.

The aim is to allow those who use drugs at safe consumption sites to understand what dangerous fillers and other drugs like fentanyl analogues might be in their sample, so they can make informed decisions about their use.\r\n\r\nThe technology, developed by startup company SCATR Inc. with the support of Western University infrastructure, is being rolled out at 11 safe consumption sites across Ontario, Nova Scotia and B.C. thanks to a new grant from Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP) announced by Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.</blockquote>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2203-01-31-SafeInjection-BlackBoxes-Chemistry013A0633-e1681485980193-495x400.jpg\' attachment=\'2085\' attachment_size=\'portfolio\' copyright=\'\' caption=\'yes\' image_size=\'large\' styling=\'\' align=\'center\' font_size=\'\' overlay_opacity=\'0.4\' overlay_color=\'#000000\' overlay_text_color=\'#ffffff\' animation=\'no-animation\' hover=\'\' appearance=\'\' link=\'\' target=\'\' title_attr=\'\' alt_attr=\'\' img_scrset=\'\' lazy_loading=\'disabled\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_element_hidden_in_editor=\'0\' av_uid=\'av-lkwp96uz\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\nChemistry professor Francois Lagugné-Labarthet (left) is working with a startup company called SCATR Inc., founded by Western grads Ari Forman, BSc’20, (centre) and Alex Boukin.\r\n[/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class=\'invisible\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue808\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' position=\'center\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' height=\'50\' custom_border=\'av-border-thin\' custom_width=\'50px\' custom_margin_top=\'30px\' custom_margin_bottom=\'30px\' custom_border_color=\'\' custom_icon_color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lkwpbea5\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock textblock_styling_align=\'\' textblock_styling=\'\' textblock_styling_gap=\'\' textblock_styling_mobile=\'\' size=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-4okxhe\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Does The Testing Work?</h3>\r\nIn order to test, you only need a very small amount:  2mg, or the size of a half of a match head. Your sample is not affected through the testing process, so you get it back, unharmed, after the test. \r\n\r\nYou have the choice of a short scan or a longer (approximately 15 minute) scan that is more thorough. You will receive your results while you wait!  The whole process is confidential.\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why Testing?</h3>\r\n\r\nTesting provides people who use drugs a way to have more information about the substance they’re planning to use. When the machine tests your substance, the device can tell you the strength, what other kinds of drugs/substances may be present, as well as the cut used. \r\n\r\nThe overdose crisis has shown that there is a very toxic drug supply locally and that it is cut with an array of different drugs and chemical fillers that may add to the drugs’ toxicity. \r\n\r\nFor example, you may think you have purchased an opiate and not be aware that there are benzodiazepines or methamphetamines in it. Cocaine is also a common drug that can be laced with opiates or methamphetamines.  \r\n\r\nThe drug checking device can inform you of many of the different substances that are in your sample.\r\n\r\nTesting your drugs gives the power back to you! You can now make an informed decision about whether to use the drugs you have tested.\r\n\r\nIf your sample comes back with an unknown substance in it, you can choose to have us send it to Western University for further testing. This will help our software to learn these new, unknown substances, which in turn will make the drug testing machine more knowledgeable. This extra process will take roughly two weeks. Your name or identity will not be disclosed. \r\n\r\nPlease note: the device isn\'t 100% accurate due to how unevenly dispersed your batch of substance might be.

compassionate, person-centered care rooted in harm reduction, advocacy, and a commitment to equity. For years, our programs have worked to bridge gaps in healthcare, harm reduction, and social services, ensuring that those most at risk receive the support they need.\r\n\r\nNow, for the first time, we are proud to share our <strong>2024 Community Impact Report</strong>—a reflection of the work, challenges, and triumphs that have shaped the past year. This report tells the story of Sanguen’s impact in Waterloo Region and Guelph/Wellington: from expanding life-saving overdose prevention initiatives and harm reduction education to strengthening outreach efforts through our Community Health Vans and peer-led programming.\r\n\r\nInside, you’ll find not only the numbers that define our reach but also the stories behind them—the individuals, partners, and frontline teams who make our work possible. With growing systemic challenges, policy shifts, and funding uncertainties, this report also serves as a call to action: to continue advocating for harm reduction, investing in solutions that work, and ensuring that healthcare remains accessible to all, no matter their circumstances.\r\n\r\nWe invite you to explore the <strong>2024 Community Impact Report</strong> and celebrate the resilience of our communities, the dedication of our staff, and the power of harm reduction in action.

The aim is to allow those who use drugs at safe consumption sites to understand what dangerous fillers and other drugs like fentanyl analogues might be in their sample, so they can make informed decisions about their use.\r\n\r\nThe technology, developed by startup company SCATR Inc. with the support of Western University infrastructure, is being rolled out at 11 safe consumption sites across Ontario, Nova Scotia and B.C. thanks to a new grant from Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP) announced by Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.</blockquote>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2203-01-31-SafeInjection-BlackBoxes-Chemistry013A0633-e1681485980193-495x400.jpg\' attachment=\'2085\' attachment_size=\'portfolio\' copyright=\'\' caption=\'yes\' image_size=\'large\' styling=\'\' align=\'center\' font_size=\'\' overlay_opacity=\'0.4\' overlay_color=\'#000000\' overlay_text_color=\'#ffffff\' animation=\'no-animation\' hover=\'\' appearance=\'\' link=\'\' target=\'\' title_attr=\'\' alt_attr=\'\' img_scrset=\'\' lazy_loading=\'disabled\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_element_hidden_in_editor=\'0\' av_uid=\'av-lkwp96uz\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\nChemistry professor Francois Lagugné-Labarthet (left) is working with a startup company called SCATR Inc., founded by Western grads Ari Forman, BSc’20, (centre) and Alex Boukin.\r\n[/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class=\'invisible\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue808\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' position=\'center\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' height=\'50\' custom_border=\'av-border-thin\' custom_width=\'50px\' custom_margin_top=\'30px\' custom_margin_bottom=\'30px\' custom_border_color=\'\' custom_icon_color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lkwpbea5\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock textblock_styling_align=\'\' textblock_styling=\'\' textblock_styling_gap=\'\' textblock_styling_mobile=\'\' size=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-4okxhe\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Does The Testing Work?</h2>\r\nIn order to test, you only need a very small amount: 2mg, or the size of a half of a match head. Your sample is not affected through the testing process, so you get it back, unharmed, after the test.\r\n\r\nYou have the choice of a short scan or a longer (approximately 15 minute) scan that is more thorough. You will receive your results while you wait! The whole process is confidential.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why Testing?</h2>\r\nTesting provides people who use drugs a way to have more information about the substance they’re planning to use. When the machine tests your substance, the device can tell you the strength, what other kinds of drugs/substances may be present, as well as the cut used.\r\n\r\nThe overdose crisis has shown that there is a very toxic drug supply locally and that it is cut with an array of different drugs and chemical fillers that may add to the drugs’ toxicity.\r\n\r\nFor example, you may think you have purchased an opiate and not be aware that there are benzodiazepines or methamphetamines in it. Cocaine is also a common drug that can be laced with opiates or methamphetamines.\r\n\r\nThe drug checking device can inform you of many of the different substances that are in your sample.\r\n\r\nTesting your drugs gives the power back to you! You can now make an informed decision about whether to use the drugs you have tested.\r\n\r\nIf your sample comes back with an unknown substance in it, you can choose to have us send it to Western University for further testing. This will help our software to learn these new, unknown substances, which in turn will make the drug testing machine more knowledgeable. This extra process will take roughly two weeks.

The aim is to allow those who use drugs at safe consumption sites to understand what dangerous fillers and other drugs like fentanyl analogues might be in their sample, so they can make informed decisions about their use.\r\n\r\nThe technology, developed by startup company SCATR Inc. with the support of Western University infrastructure, is being rolled out at 11 safe consumption sites across Ontario, Nova Scotia and B.C. thanks to a new grant from Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP) announced by Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.</blockquote>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_horizontal_gallery ids=\'2429,2434,2432,2431,2436,2430,2433,2435\' height=\'25\' size=\'large\' gap=\'large\' active=\'enlarge\' initial=\'\' control_layout=\'av-control-default\' links=\'active\' link_dest=\'\' lightbox_text=\'\' img_scrset=\'\' lazy_loading=\'disabled\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lzofkvlq\' sc_version=\'1.0\'][/av_horizontal_gallery]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class=\'invisible\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue808\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' position=\'center\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' height=\'50\' custom_border=\'av-border-thin\' custom_width=\'50px\' custom_margin_top=\'30px\' custom_margin_bottom=\'30px\' custom_border_color=\'\' custom_icon_color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lkwpbea5\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock textblock_styling_align=\'\' textblock_styling=\'\' textblock_styling_gap=\'\' textblock_styling_mobile=\'\' size=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-4okxhe\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Does The Testing Work?</h2>\r\nIn order to test, you only need a very small amount: 2mg, or the size of a half of a match head. Your sample is not affected through the testing process, so you get it back, unharmed, after the test.\r\n\r\nYou have the choice of a short scan or a longer (approximately 15 minute) scan that is more thorough. You will receive your results while you wait! The whole process is confidential.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why Testing?</h2>\r\nTesting provides people who use drugs a way to have more information about the substance they’re planning to use. When the machine tests your substance, the device can tell you the strength, what other kinds of drugs/substances may be present, as well as the cut used.\r\n\r\nThe overdose crisis has shown that there is a very toxic drug supply locally and that it is cut with an array of different drugs and chemical fillers that may add to the drugs’ toxicity.\r\n\r\nFor example, you may think you have purchased an opiate and not be aware that there are benzodiazepines or methamphetamines in it. Cocaine is also a common drug that can be laced with opiates or methamphetamines.\r\n\r\nThe drug checking device can inform you of many of the different substances that are in your sample.\r\n\r\nTesting your drugs gives the power back to you! You can now make an informed decision about whether to use the drugs you have tested.\r\n\r\nIf your sample comes back with an unknown substance in it, you can choose to have us send it to Western University for further testing. This will help our software to learn these new, unknown substances, which in turn will make the drug testing machine more knowledgeable. This extra process will take roughly two weeks. Your name or identity will not be disclosed.\r\n\r\nPlease note: the device isn\'t 100% accurate due to how unevenly dispersed your batch of substance might be. One sample from your batch may be different from another area of the same batch.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Substances that can be tested</h3>\r\nAnything in powder, rock, crystalized, tablet or the inner contents of a capsule.

She works hard to break down barriers that individuals experience in order to improve access to health care.\r\n\r\nKathy has been working to support the Mobile Health Bus and is expanding opportunities to connect with folks around testing and treatment for Hepatitis C.\r\n\r\nWhen Kathy is not at work you will likely find her on the golf course or spending time with her family.\r\n\r\nPhone: 519-603-0223\r\nEmail: kmckenna@sanguen.com\' font_color=\'\' custom_title=\'\' custom_content=\'\' av_uid=\'av-jl14cydi-55\' admin_preview_bg=\'\'][/av_team_member]\r\n[/av_one_third]\r\n\r\n[av_one_third first min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'\' space=\'\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' padding=\'0px\' border=\'\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'0px\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_color1=\'\' background_gradient_color2=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' animation=\'\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' av_uid=\'av-7mw2b\']\r\n[av_team_member name=\'Anne Dietrich\' job=\'Registered Nurse\r\nWaterloo Region\' src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Anne-Dietrich.jpg\' attachment=\'2176\' attachment_size=\'full\' description=\'Anne has worked as a Nurse since 2008.
