The idea is to make it easy for people to get the nasal spray that can save the life of someone overdosing on opioids.
“We’re going to be available if someone wants to talk, but we’re not going to require them to talk to us at all. They can simply come in, get the Narcan and leave,” said Rena Thompson, who runs the Recovery Café.Push a button, and out comes a free box of Narcan nasal spray.“We’re not just tossing Narcan out there. We’re providing information so people can get trained on how to properly respond,” said Paul LaKosky, who runs the organization that operates the Tacoma Needle Exchange.
The idea is to make naloxone easily available, no questions asked, so people have it on hand in case they encounter someone having an overdose. “It could be your friend, your neighbor, your family member,” said lead case manager Alex Medina at Recovery Café Orting Valley.
