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.
