Preventing Drug Overdose for Whitman County

Why Should I Care About This?

Everyone is important to someone.

Together as One Whitman, we can be prepared to save the life of one of our friends, family, or even a stranger. Carrying Narcan could prevent an overdose death in our community.

As One Whitman, let's commit to carrying Narcan because all life matters.

Preparing Yourself

Narcan

Narcan is a medication that can save lives by reversing the effects of an overdose of 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.
