What is Narcan?
Narcan, short for No-Cost Naloxone, is a Nasal Spray to assist bystanders to help with fatal overdose and save lives.
By equipping individuals with naloxone and training them to identify and respond to an opioid overdose, the delivery of life-saving care can potentially be reduced from hours to seconds, according to Clay County.
