Henrico boosts access to free naloxone to reduce opioid overdose deaths

Posted on .
The pilot project is being funded by allocations made to the county from opioid litigation settlements. Henrico received $17,986 from the Virginia Opioid Abatement Authority and contributed an additional $5,000 in settlement funds made directly to the county.

Individuals are encouraged to take a box of naloxone if they or someone they know is at risk of an opioid overdose. Each box has two doses of naloxone. Individuals are asked to take only one box per visit, as supplies are limited.
