Opioid reversal medication is a medication that can save lives by temporarily reversing an opioid overdose, such as heroin or fentanyl. Opioid reversal medication is safe to use and only works if a person has opioids in their body. You are protected under the Good Samaritan Law and cannot be arrested if you use opioid reversal medication.

The #notscarytocarry campaign was created by a network of community organizations titled the Prescription Opioid Solutions (PRxOS) workgroups. The aim is to spread awareness of what opioid reversal medication is, why it’s important, and to break down the stigma surrounding opioid reversal medication. It’s not scary to carry, and it can save someone’s life.

Thank you to everyone who submitted an application for Opioid Settlement Funds. Due to the overwhelming response of requests, we have closed the application for the remainder of this year. We anticipate re-opening the application cycle on January 1, 2024.
