Description: Naloxone (also known by the brand name Narcan) is an easy-to-use, lifesaving medication used to reverse an overdose from opioids including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription pain medications like Vicodin and oxycodone. Used in hospitals for decades, the medication has no abuse potential, costs as little as one dollar for a lifesaving dose, and can be administered with basic training. According to the Illinois Overdose Prevention Act, any layperson can get trained, and this allows them to possess and administer Naloxone to a person having an overdose.

• Details of the 911 Good Samaritan Law and Naloxone Act
• Signs and symptoms of opioid use and addiction
• Effects of opioids on the brain and body
