This grant will provide the opportunity to prevent deaths in Mendocino County by providing Narcan, a drug that counters opioid overdoses. Narcan will be distributed to people who take opioids, and to their friends and families at no cost.

Four hundred and twenty (420) doses of Narcan will be available to Mendocino County in two (2) shipments between June 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018.
