Massac County getting Narcan distribution boxes

The Massac County Drug Coalition will be busy in the new year making Narcan available throughout the county.

The coalition recently became a state-approved drug overdose prevention provider, and a state grant allowed them to place a Narcan distribution box inside the Super Suds laundromat in Metropolis, making the drug available 24 hours a day.

Narcan helps with opioid overdoses, including those involving fentanyl.

The distribution box at Super Suds is the first of four boxes the coalition has secured. They plan to put another box at the 12th Street gas station in Metropolis, one in Brookport and one in Joppa.
