Many people know of someone, including friends or family, that may be or has been affected by opioid addiction. Opioid addiction is a worldwide problem, including here in the tri-state area.
Narcan is a life-saving non-addictive drug that reverses the effect of opioids such as heroin and fentanyl and is administered as a nasal spray, saving lives when properly administered in time.
In addition to the free Narcan giveaway, other resources and information will be available.
Overdose Awareness and free Narcan Giveaway on Saturday, August 6, 2022, from 11 AM - 4 PM, on the lawn of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Milford, 300 Broad Street, Milford. For more information, call 570-296-4711.
