Naloxone, or Narcan, is a safe and legal medicine used to reverse opioid overdoses by temporarily blocking the opioid's effects. It has no negative effects on someone who isn't experiencing a drug overdose, so it's better to use naloxone even if you're unsure if opioids were involved in an overdose situation. No certification or training is required to give it. Lincoln County Health Department offers free naloxone for people who use substances and those who use prescription opioids for pain management - no questions asked. You can also find naloxone near you using the Washington State Naloxone Finder.
