In the fight against opioid overdoses, access to naloxone, commonly known as Narcan, is critical. Naxolone can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, potentially saving lives in crucial moments of crisis. However, access to naloxone has been an issue, hindering its potential to prevent tragic outcomes. Locally, an initiative led by NLC Cares is making significant strides in addressing this gap.

NLC Cares, through grant funding, has installed more than a dozen free naloxone distribution boxes throughout New London County. These boxes are located in central areas, ensuring that naloxone is readily available when needed. Among these locations are four within the Uncas Health District, making this life-saving medication easily accessible to the community:

Montville Old Town Hall, 310 Norwich-New London Turnpike, Uncasville
Taftville VFD, 134 Providence St, Taftville
Matt’s Mission, 70 Main St, Jewett City
Greeneville Fire Station, 446 North Main St, Norwich
