Naloxone’s Availability
Naloxone – AKA “Narcan” is a medication used to rapidly reverse opioid overdose.
Listuguj Community Health Services has Naloxone take-home kits available for pickup to community members. To retrieve one of the kits, individuals must undergo a brief training session on how to administer Naloxone. This training is provided at the Health Centre.
