Narcan kits are supplied to the community from the Health Department. These kits contain two 4 mg Nasal Narcan dispensers, a CPR shield, gloves, and a Narcan brochure. Narcan is the only FDA-approved form of Naloxone for emergency treatment of a known or suspected opioid overdose. It breaks down the opioid and excretes it allowing respiration to return. Narcan kits are available to anyone residing in Wayne County.
