What is narcan?

Naloxone is a prescription medicine that reverses opioid overdoses. It works by temporarily blocking the effects of opioids and helps the person to breathe again. Naloxone is the generic name but can be found under the branded names of Narcan and Evzio.

Why learn to reverse overdoses?

Fatal drug overdose has been the leading method of unnatural death in Virginia since 2013, and opioids have been the driving force behind the increases in fatal overdoses.

Naloxone gives individuals a second chance at life and the opportunity to seek treatmentOpioid Use Disorder is complex and serious–but there is hope. When community members have the knowledge and tools to save lives, they can help our area residents achieve a brighter future.
