Save lives.
Naloxone HCL (Narcan) is a medication that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose, a result of consuming or using one or more opioid-related drugs.
In order for those struggling with substance abuse to receive help, they need to stay alive. The Monongalia County QRT provides naloxone distribution and training to any individual, groups or organization that are interested. If interested in naloxone or naloxone training, reach out to Joe Klass, Assistant QRT Coordinator, at joseph.l.klass@wv.gov or 304-225-0264. Naloxone is also available 24/7 at Wise Path Recovery Center in Westover.

The Monongalia County QRT also holds at least two Free Naloxone Day events at different locations around Monongalia County twice a year. The most recent Free Naloxone Day took place on Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024.
