Mail Order Narcan (Naloxone)
Naloxone is a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. It's better to have naloxone and not need it, than need it and not have it.
Many drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine and counterfeit prescriptions drugs contain lethal doses of fentanyl, so please have naloxone in any first aid kit you have.
If you are a Summit County, Ohio resident you have the ability to order Narcan through the mail. Fill out the form and narcan will be sent to your address.
You can also request fentanyl test strips which can be used to test drugs to detect the presence of
Harm reduction and overdose preparedness supplies through Project DAWN and Summit County Public Health.
Xylazine
As we continue to hear more about Xylazine in the drug supply it is important to stay informed. Remember: We don't panic, we prepare. Drug hysteria leads to increased criminalization and not increased care.
