Narcan Saves Lives
Naloxone, known by the brand name Narcan, is a medication that can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose from a prescription opioid, heroin, fentanyl, and other drugs mixed with opioids. Pharmacies and community-based organizations provide Narcan kits, training on how to administer it, and information on how to recognize/respond to the signs of an overdose. See a listing of these resources below as well as more information about the county's "Save A Life" overdose rescue kit distribution campaign promoting Narcan as a basic first aid tool.

Oneida County Opioid Task Force is launching a FREE Narcan (Naloxone) distribution campaign targeting local businesses and organizations. Task Force partners will be handing out free first aid overdose rescue kits with two doses of Narcan nasal spray over the next several weeks.
