Overview

The Opioid Remediation Collaborative (ORC) partnered with law enforcement, Vital Strategies, local community members, and the Cibola Health Council to expand access to NARCAN in Cibola County. Recognizing the importance of timely intervention in opioid overdoses, ORC purchased five recycled newspaper boxes that will be stocked with free NARCAN. Each box features ORC branding and includes a QR code linking to detailed instructions on how to properly administer NARCAN. Additionally, each box contains printed instructional documents to guide individuals on safe usage, ensuring that lifesaving information is readily accessible.
