KBIA partnered with Columbia/Boone County Public Health & Human Services and the Boone County Overdose Response Coalition to host an event in October at Douglass High School where the community could learn about Narcan®.

Narcan®, the brand name for naloxone, is a lifesaving drug that can reverse an opioid overdose.

Here are some community resources that are available for people or families dealing with substance use disorder. If you, or someone you know, is experiencing an overdose or other substance use related crisis – call 911.
