What is Project DAWN?
|
Project DAWN (Deaths Avoided With Naloxone) is a community-wide naloxone (also known as Narcan) distribution program. Naloxone is a medication that can be used to quickly reverse an overdose caused by an opioid drug. Free Narcan kits are available upon request thanks to a Federally funded grant through the Ohio Department of Health.
The project educates individuals with substance use disorder, their family members or their friends on how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a drug overdose. Call emergency medical services, perform rescue breathing, and administer naloxone/Narcan nasally. Naloxone (also known as Narcan) is a medication that can reverse an overdose caused by an opioid drug (heroin, fentanyl, or prescription pain medications). When administered during an overdose, naloxone blocks the effects of opioids on the brain and quickly restores breathing. The Tuscarawas County Health Department's Project DAWN (Deaths Avoided With Naloxone) Program provides free Narcan kits to those who would like to help save lives by reversing overdoses. The program is Federally funded through a grant from the Ohio Department of Health. For more information, call (330) 343-5555 x 1780 or email us at [email protected] |
