Free Naloxone is Available to Those That Complete a Short Course

In 2020, nearly 1,300 West Virginians died from a drug overdose. Now two groups are teaming up to get the overdose reversal drug into the hands of more people. HELP4WV, a 24-hour addiction and mental health helpline, is partnering with the West Virginia Drug Intervention Institute to distribute Naloxone, also known as Narcan. WCHS TV reported they are urging West Virginians to get free doses by completing a short online course that gives instructions on the proper use of the medication. You will then be mailed a training certificate and two does of auto-injector Naloxone free of charge. To find out more, go to HELP4WV.com.
