SUBSTANCE USE PREVENTION EDUCATION WHAT EVERY PARENT SHOULD KNOW ABOUT NARCAN Every parent wants to keep their child safe — but today’s risks look different than they did a generation ago. The rise of counterfeit pills and powerful synthetic opioids like fentanyl has created a crisis few families saw coming. This guide will help you understand NARCAN and how to be ready to save a life if needed. WHAT IS NARCAN? NARCAN (naloxone) is a medication that reverses opioid overdoses — including those caused by fentanyl, heroin, and prescription painkillers. It works by blocking opioids in the brain and restoring normal breathing within minutes. It’s most commonly used as a nasal spray. It’s safe, easy to use, and won’t harm someone even if they aren’t experiencing an overdose. Where to Get NARCAN: NARCAN is easy to access — and often free.  Available over-the-counter at most major chains. Free Narcan is available in many areas through local health departments, state programs, and some college or university health centers. Depending on your location, you may also find options for anonymous pickup or mail delivery. Locate NARCAN Near You Use the Naloxone/NARCAN Locator Map to find pharmacies and programs near you. It may not list every location, but it’s a helpful place to start. How to Use NARCAN: 3 Simple Steps 1.       Check responsiveness and breathing. 2.       Spray NARCAN into one nostril. 3.       Call 911 and stay with them. This is a basic overview. For detailed instructions, watch the step-by-step instructional video, which can be accessed by the provided QR code. You’re Not Overreacting — You’re Being Prepared Fake pills are being sold on social media, often laced with fentanyl — a powerful opioid that can stop breathing in minutes. Most teens don’t know what they’re taking. These overdoses are happening in every type of community — even to kids who are experimenting or just caught off guard. NARCAN is simple, safe, and lifesaving. Carrying it could give someone a second chance. FOR MORE INFORMATION CLICK HERE: SUBSTANCE USE PREVENTION EDUCATION
