About 80% of overdose deaths each year occur inside a home.
Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose of opioids, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications—when given in time. Carrying naloxone and using it on someone who is overdosing on opioids could immediately help save a life.

In addition, naloxone can be purchased at Georgia pharmacies without a prescription. Not all pharmacies carry naloxone, so call ahead to see if your pharmacy stocks it.
The purpose of District 4 Public Health’s Opioid Community Needs Assessment Survey is to assess District 4 residents’ current knowledge, perceptions, and concerns as it relates to opioid/substance use disorder and the resources available within their respective county. The survey will also be used to determine key areas where more health education and promotion are needed in our communities.
