Free Naloxone Kits Available at all City of Phoenix Public Libraries

The City of Phoenix is Combatting the Opioid Crisis with New Naloxone Program Is Naloxone (NARCAN) a part of your first aid kit? Over the past decade, opioid overdoses have been on the rise. In 2022, 991 people died of an overdose in Phoenix, accounting for more than half of all overdose deaths in Maricopa County. Led by the Office of Public Health, the City of Phoenix is tackling the opioid crisis by rolling out a city-wide Naloxone Program to help decrease fentanyl and opioid overdoses. To ensure residents have access to this life-saving tool, free Naloxone kits will be available at all 17 Phoenix Public Libraries as well as through other City services. The kits feature two doses of NARCAN nasal spray, a pair of gloves, and an informational pamphlet featuring overdose symptoms and instructions. Join us for an opportunity to interview subject-matter experts about how Phoenix is combatting the opioid crisis and encouraging the public to help save lives.
