Harm Reduction Supplies
Naloxone is an emergency medication that temporarily reverses the effects of an overdose from opioids such as fentanyl, heroin, methadone and morphine as well as those caused by non-opioid drugs
contaminated with opioids. Naloxone will not hurt someone who is not having an opioid overdose, so there is no harm in giving it if you are not sure.
County of Brant Public Library
- You can request a free take-home nasal naloxone kit at any County of Brant Library circulation desk. No personal identification or contact information is required.
