Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the CDC, 75% of the nearly 92,000 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2020 involved an opioid. Thankfully, opioid overdoses deaths can be prevented with the use of naloxone. Naloxone, also commonly called Narcan, is an emergency response medication used for the treatment of an opioid overdose. Individuals known to be at risk of experiencing or witnessing an overdose should have direct access to naloxone. Naloxone reverses the effects of an opioid overdose until emergency services can arrive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locally, in 2020, there were 15 fatal opioid overdoses (25.7 per 100,000). \u201cFor the last several\u00a0years, Genesee County\u2019s opioid overdose death rates have surpassed the state\u2019s average as\u00a0a whole, as well as excluding New York City averages,\u201d stated Paul Pettit, Public Health\u00a0Director for the Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments (GO Health).\u00a0\u201cUnfortunately, this public health crisis is continuing in our community and in an effort to\u00a0increase access to naloxone to save lives, the Health Department is providing Naloxone Boxes\u00a0for free to interested business and organizations to install at their\u00a0location(s),\u201d Pettit explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Naloxone Box? It is a metal box that contains two doses of Narcan nasal spray. These boxes are intended to increase access to Naloxone at the time of a life-threatening emergency. They can be placed in a high-traffic area at your business\/organization or alongside an AED, as both provide a life-saving resource and instructions for use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCurrently, 8 Naloxone Boxes have been installed which are all located within the City of Batavia. This is a great start but having these boxes at many locations, including every village and town, is the goal. We want to help save lives because the possibility for recovery is lost if the person is no longer with us. That is why I am calling for businesses and organizations to act and get involved by installing a box,\u201d said Pettit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
