Opioid overdose is a community health epidemic – both prescription medications and heroin. Naloxone (Narcan) is a medication that rescues an individual from an opioid overdose and saves lives. These videos provide information and training on how to save a life.
Multiple versions of the Naloxone Rescue Training meet audiences’ informational needs (general community, health centers, law enforcement, and recovery programs).
Feel free to watch them all!

Finally, OTC naloxone!
Grateful to all the harm reduction advocates who continued to champion this

BREAKING: The FDA has approved the first naloxone product available without a prescription. While this removes the final regulatory barrier to naloxone access, it does not on its own lower the cost.
