Also Washtenaw County, several sites and governmental agencies offer free naloxone—a “safe and life-saving medication designed to reverse an opioid overdose.”
Choose your drugs wisely
Naloxone (Narcan) only works on overdoses caused by opioids. This family of drugs includes prescription painkillers like OxyContin, fentanyl, methadone, and Vicodin, as well as street drugs like heroin.
Naloxone will not reverse overdose resulting from non-opioid drugs, like cocaine, benzodiazepines (“benzos”), or alcohol.
