description Throughout North America, the illicit drug supply's shift to illicitly manufactured fentanyl (IMF) has fueled a multiwave overdose crisis.1 In response to the public health crisis, several jurisdictions in the United States and Canada adopted a range of harm reduction strategies. These strategies include take-home naloxone programs, community drug checking services, increased access to medications for opioid use disorder, and the prescription of safe supply medications.In Mexico, the implementation of harm reduction interventions has been extremely limited2 Faced with opposition at various government levels, local harm reduction programs have struggled to emerge or operate at full scale. Meanwhile, certain Mexican border areas are experiencing a rapid emergence of IMF in their local drug supply,3 leading to a spike in overdoses and an increase in other negative health outcomes for people who use drugs.
