What is Naloxone?
Naloxone (also known as Narcan®) is a medication that can reverse an overdose caused by an opioid drug (heroin or prescription pain meds)
Naloxone does not reverse drug overdoses that are caused by non-opioid drugs, such as cocaine, benzodiazepines (e.g. Xanex, Klonopin & Valium), methamphetamines, or alcohol.
All attendees will receive a FREE Naloxone Kit!
