Drug abuse is a huge issue in North Carolina, and it affects everyone in the community directly and indirectly. We wanted to spread awareness about the dangers of drugs, along with teaching about the importance of narcan and naloxone. This website some basic information you may need to know about narcan and drug abuse, but if you want to learn more about these topics, visit the “Learn More” post for links to more informative sources!

Narcan is a nasal spray that counteracts drug overdose that is newly approved by the FDA. Narcan is very easy to use and can save lives! If you ever see someone who is overdosing, narcan can help them stay safe until proper medical care is accessible. It is important to note that while narcan is a good immediate solution, you should still call 911 for an ambulance as narcan won’t completely save someone. Narcan is also very easy to attain, because it can be bought at most drugstores or provided for free by some organizations.
