The Harper Woods Police Department installed a Nalox-Box in their lobby through the AmeriCorps Community Training (ACT) for Overdose Rescue program at Wayne State University Center for Urban Studies. The installation was coordinated by The Healthy Grosse Pointe and Harper Woods Coalition.
The Nalox-Box is a container stocked with free, ready-to-use Narcan®. Narcan® is an easy-to-use nasal spray that can reverse overdose symptoms. Anyone can retrieve Narcan® from the Nalox-Box to administer immediately in case of a nearby emergency or to take with them as a precaution for a future overdose emergency. Narcan® is critical to saving a life during an opioid overdose.
For information on Narcan® training, please visit the Coalition’s website at https://familycenterhelps.org/coalition or call 313-447-1374.
