"Free Narcan by Mail: Santa Clara County's Lifesaving Initiative"
Santa Clara County is providing free Narcan, the opioid overdose-reversing nasal spray, by mail to residents in an effort to combat the opioid crisis. The county has fulfilled nearly 60 requests for Narcan since December and is also offering in-person trainings at several county clinics. The mail-order program aims to make the medication and training more accessible to residents, addressing concerns about stigma and providing a convenient alternative to obtaining Narcan.
