Description

No Cost Naloxone (Narcan) Naloxone is a nasal spray medication that can be used in an emergency to reverse the effects of an overdose by opioids, like prescription painkillers, heroin, or fentanyl. If you or someone you know is at an increased risk for an overdose, you should carry Naloxone and keep it at home. Naloxone is safe an easy to use and can prevent potentially fatal overdoses. All LFHD locations have the ability to train and distribute free Naloxone nasal spray to community members. An appointment is not needed to become trained and acquire Naloxone from a health department. Fentanyl Test Strips Fentanyl Test Strips (FTS) are a way for a person to test any drugs for the presence of fentanyl in order to prevent overdose from fentanyl. FTS use a small amount of the drug in question along with water in order to test whether fentanyl is present in the drug supply. FTS do not measure the quantity of fentanyl in the drug supply or if the supply contains other drugs of concern. The LFHD health department locations have fentanyl test strips, provided at no cost, for community members.
