The National Opioid Overdose Prevention Program

The National Opioid Overdose Prevention Program is a government initiative aimed at reducing deaths from opioid overdoses. It provides resources like training for families and communities, and supplies of overdose-reversing medications such as naloxone (Narcan). The program focuses on education, awareness, and expanding access to life-saving tools to help prevent fatal overdoses, especially among high-risk populations. Its goal is to save lives, promote safer medication use, and support community-based efforts to combat the opioid crisis effectively.
