Save a life. Get your kit.
Everyone should carry an overdose rescue kit. Naloxone, commonly known as Narcan, is an opioid antagonist which aids in the reversal of an opioid overdose. The advocacy of harm reductionists, families, and people in recovery has led to the passage of Nevada’s Good Samaritan Law, allowing everyone the freedom to possess this life-saving medication.
Sign up for one of our next overdose prevention trainings or walk-in to one of our Recovery Community Centers anytime to learn how to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose.
We have overdose rescue kits available to the public, at no cost, at any of our recovery community centers or via mail through us or our partners at Trac-B Exchange.
