RiverValley Behavioral Health to supply 220 Narcan doses

Owensboro, Ky.-based RiverValley Behavioral Health will provide 220 doses of Narcan nasal spray through its Medication Assisted Treatment Program, WEHT reported Jan. 3. 

Doses will be distributed during an event on Jan. 23 with a limit of two per person. 

The program began in 2020 to combat the opioid epidemic. 

"One of the most effective ways to combat opioid addiction is through education and access to resources," Nicki Feher, RN, RVBH clinical office manager, told the news outlet. "Our goal for the Narcan giveaway in January is to provide access to necessary measures that could help save a life."
