Substance Use Prevention

Prevention is a proactive approach; creating an environment that promotes the health and well-being of individuals and communities, which prevent problems before they occur. Our substance use prevention programs implement evidence-based strategies in the community to prevent use of all substances.

WHAT WE DO

Opioid Overdose Prevention

Our focus is to:

  • Reduce access to opioid medications
  • Increase access and awareness to drug take-back locations in the community
  • Increase awareness and access to Narcan
  • Reduce the stigma of addiction

NARCAN DISTRIBUTION

Naloxone (Narcan) is an antidote to overdose of heroin or other opioid drugs. It works by blocking the effects of opioids in a person’s system, helping to restore breathing.

Narcan is available for free at Central Valley Health. If you are interested, please call CVHD or walk in to our main office during business hours.
