In a situation where emergency services may not be immediately available, having access to Narcan can be crucial in providing immediate assistance to a loved one who may be experiencing an overdose.

As of 2017, Ohio was ranked second in the nation for opioid overdose deaths. You have the power to make healthy decisions and avoid drug use. When you find yourself in a tricky situation, try one of these: - I can't, I might be tested. - No, thank you.
