Why Narcan® Nasal Spray
If we agree that harm reduction as opposed to prohibition and shame is the answer then education and easy access to lifesaving Narcan® just makes sense.
Lifesaving Narcan® Naloxone Nasal Spray
Learning to administer Narcan® while keeping it accessible wherever the risk of overdose exists is a kindness we should all consider and extend without judgement.
Harm Reduction
There are so many incredible harm reduction organizations across the country like Saved My Life. All are committed to educating the public and can provide free access to Fentanyl testing strips, Narcan® Nasal Spray and support to families who have lost loved ones to overdose.
If you are working with a Harm Reduction organization please share the good work you are doing. It is a labor of love!
If you want access to Narcan®, seek information or wish to support harm reduction there are organizations near your ready to provide support.
About Saved My Life
For me the focus on overdose prevention and harm reduction began in 2013. In my journey building State regulated cannabis companies while navigating a Federally illegal Schedule I drug I immediately understood it was also my responsibility to educate and protect against the risks of drug use.
I founded Saved My Life to address the overdose epidemic. By providing free access to Narcan® (Naloxone) Nasal Spray we can help reduce opioid overdoses while providing education that pushes back on shame and misinformation.
Saved My Life New stands located in Illinois
Saved My Life offers access to free Narcan® where people work, live and play in Illinois. We have donated Saved My Life Newsstands and dispensing cabinets to libraries, high schools, non-profits, restaurants, hotels, and dispensaries.
If you would like to help provide Saved My Life access in your State, let's talk.
It is working! In 2023, Will County, Illinois saw 95 opioid overdose deaths, down from 112 the previous year. 103 overdoses were reversed, more than double the total from 2022. In partnership with Saved My Life, the Will County Health Department distributed over 11,000 Naloxone kits last year.
“Our goal was to create an effective way to make Naloxone more readily available throughout Will County,” said Dr. Kathleen Burke. “We want the community to understand that many of the utilizers of these boxes are people who are not using opioids, but they want to be able to assist in an emergency situation or perhaps they have a family member or friend who is struggling with a substance use disorder, and they want to be prepared.”
