Post Views: 1,443• Reverses overdose effects due to opioidsBrittany Ritter with the Lincoln County Prevention Coalition ATODS (Alcohol, Tobacco, Other Drugs, Suicide) is asking area residents and citizens to be aware and utilize a program that could help save a life.
“We are seeing an increase in fentanyl overdose deaths nationwide and Lincoln County is not excluded from this type of situation,” she told SVI.
Ritter says any person can go into any pharmacy in Lincoln County and request doses of Narcan, an agent that will reverse the effects of an overdose due to opioids.
We want that in the hands of our citizens so they can use it if the need arrives.”
