Opioid use and overdoses are increasing rapidly in Washington state.
Whitman County Public Health is now offering Narcan (Naloxone) to those who use drugs and support systems of those who use drugs, such as family and friends.
What is Narcan?
Narcan is a medication that can save lives by reversing the effects of an overdose from opioids such as heroin, fentanyl and prescription opioid medications. Narcan temporarily stops the effects of opioids allowing someone to wake up from an opioid overdose and start breathing again.
