If you or those around you are struggling with opioid addiction, Naloxone could help save a life in the event of an overdose.
About Naloxone
Naloxone (Narcan) is a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. It is an antagonist, which means it attaches to opioid receptors and reverses and blocks the effects of other opioids. Naloxone can quickly restore normal breathing to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped due to an opioid overdose.
Naloxone can be given as a nasal spray or injected, but in the case of this program, it is administered as a nasal spray through the nose.
