Naloxone Kit Distribution and Medication Lock Boxes
What We Do
Brunswick County law enforcement and EMS currently carry Naloxone, which is the reversal agent for heroin and other opioid overdoses. One of our community partners, Coastal Horizons, distributes Naloxone kits to their clients, as well as friends and families of individuals who may be at risk of an overdose. BCHS distributes medication lock boxes to families with children under age 18 living in their household. We also promote the “Lock Your Meds” campaign by providing educational pamphlets to parents about reducing the risk of accidental medication overdose in children.
