In an overdose emergency, every second matters. Carrying and knowing how to use Narcan can mean the difference between life and death, and helps give someone a second chance at recovery.

Recovery looks different for everyone, but no one has to go through it alone. If you or someone you know may be at risk of overdose, Narcan (naloxone) can save a life. Find it and other local resources here findnaloxone.ky.gov!
