Naloxone (Narcan®) is a safe medication that can save someone’s life by reversing the effects of an opioid overdose. It only works on opioids, such as heroin, prescription painkillers and fentanyl, but it is safe to use even if opioids are not present.

  • Cover steps for responding to an opioid overdose with naloxone
  • Outline options for accessing an Overdose Response Kit in person or by mail
