Substance Use

Overdose prevention

Start with Naloxone (brand name is Narcan)

If you or someone you know uses opioids in any form, keep naloxone somewhere easy to grab. Seconds matter. Naloxone is not harmful if accidentally taken or if no opioids are present in the person’s body. CC Mellor Library has Naloxone available for free. Ask a Librarian for help. You can also buy it at any pharmacy.
