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.

Naloxone FAQs

What is naloxone?
Naloxone, also known as naloxone HCL or Narcan, is a medication approved by the FDA that effectively counteracts the life-threatening effects of an opioid overdose by blocking brain receptors and enabling the restoration of normal breathing.

What is an opioid?
Opioids are powerful medications that effectively alleviate pain by dampening the intensity of pain signals sent to the brain, while also influencing brain regions that govern emotional responses, thereby lessening the perception of pain.

Examples of Opioids:

• Morphine(MS Contin®)
• Codeine
• Hydrocodone (Vicodin®, Norco®)
• Hydromorphone (Dilaudid®)
• Oxycodone(Percocet®, OxyContin®)
