Residents and organizations can obtain a FREE NARCAN® Nasal Spray. Narcan is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose emergencies.
Naloxone has no potential for abuse.
If given to a person who is not experiencing an opioid overdose, it is harmless.
If administered to a person who is dependent on opioids, it will produce non-life-threatening withdrawal symptoms.
It does not reverse overdoses that are caused by non-opioid drugs, such as cocaine, benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin, Valium), methamphetamines, or alcohol.
