FREE NARCAN in Honor of International Overdose Awareness Day 8/31/22
August 31, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
In honor of International Overdose Awareness Day, more than 600 doses of lifesaving Narcan will be given out at two locations in West Pasco County on Wednesday 8/31/22; and one location in Dade City on Thursday 9/1/22.
Overdose death is completely preventable! Thanks to Narcan, the brand name of Naloxone, an overdose does not have to be fatal. Naloxone is a non-prescription drug delivered via nasal spray that temporarily blocks the opiate receptors in the brain reversing an overdose for up to 90-minutes. This gives people time to call 911.
The Pasco County Alliance for Substance Addiction Prevention in partnership with Groups Recover Together, Suncoast Roofing, and Farmer’s Self Help will hand out free Narcan at three locations around Pasco County.
No registration required to pick up the lifesaving Narcan … no questions asked, no signature needed.
International Overdose Awareness Day is a global event held on August 31 each year and aims to raise awareness of overdose and reduce the stigma of drug-related death. #EndOverdose
