Save a Life is a monthly series of events that focuses on educating the community on how they can help prevent opioid overdose deaths through the use of naloxone, also known as Narcan®. This life-saving drug has been proven effective in reversing the effects of an opioid overdose.
According to PHHS, individuals who have recently been released from incarceration are at a higher risk for overdose due to their decreased tolerance levels. Additionally, all street drugs have the potential to contain fentanyl, making them even more dangerous.
Funding for this event is made possible by contract DH240054280 between PHHS and the State of Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. Thanks to their continued partnership with the Missouri Institute for Mental Health (MIMH), NARCAN® will be available at no cost for participants of this event.
