The Island Health authority has issued an alert about an increase in overdoses in Greater Victoria.
It says there's a higher risk in both inhaling or injecting opioids or stimulants.
It recommends anyone using illicit drugs to avoid using alone, to try a small amount of the drug first.
The authority says users should also download the Lifeguard App, and carry and use the overdose reversing drug naloxone.
