FENTANYL PRESENTATION NOTES If you missed the presentation about fentanyl and naloxone in late November, please visit Song for Charlie for important information. You can access their most recent compiled data hereThe New Drug Talk provides helpful information on how to facilitate an ongoing conversation about drug use with your teens. Naloxone is the first line of treatment for any suspected opioid drug overdose and has very few side effects when administered (even when opioids are not the cause of overdose). Families can access naloxone (brand name Narcan) for purchase over the counter at all drug stores. If cost is a factor, naloxone can be accessed for free. Having doses of naloxone available (at home, in the dorm room, in the car) can save lives.
