You Can Save A Life! Learn to use Narcan
Naloxone (Narcan) is a
medication designed to rapidly reverse an opioid overdose. It is an opioid
antagonist, meaning that it binds to receptors in the brain and blocks the effects of opioids. It can quickly restore normal
respiration to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped due to overdosing
with an opioid such as heroin or prescription medications.
The
kits are made available for emergency use and to persons who feel they may need use of it in the
future and to friends and family who have concerns about their loved ones. The kit is free, there is no charge.
