Our Naloxone Distribution Center Has Relocated!
We are committed to combating the opioid crisis by providing accessible resources to communities in need. Today, we are excited to announce a significant step forward in our mission: our Naloxone Distribution Center has found a new home with the Whole Body Health Team in Newport Beach, California.
Starting February 26, 2024, our team will be onsite every Monday and Wednesday from 11 am to 1 pm at 4063 Birch Street, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660. This relocation marks a strategic move to enhance the accessibility of naloxone, a life-saving medication used to reverse opioid overdoses, to individuals and families in the area.
The partnership with Whole Body Health Team underscores our commitment to collaboration and community engagement in addressing the opioid epidemic. By co-locating with a respected healthcare provider like Whole Body Health Team, we aim to reach a broader audience and ensure that naloxone is readily available to those who may encounter opioid overdoses in their communities.
Naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, is a critical tool in saving lives threatened by opioid overdose. Its timely administration can reverse the effects of opioids, restoring normal breathing and preventing death. However, access to naloxone remains limited in many areas, contributing to the staggering number of opioid-related fatalities each year.
Through our Naloxone Distribution Center, we strive to bridge this gap by offering naloxone kits free of charge to individuals at risk of overdose or those who may witness an overdose situation. Our trained staff will also provide education on how to recognize the signs of an overdose and administer naloxone effectively, empowering community members to take action in emergency situations.
The relocation to the Whole Body Health Team facility aligns with our vision of creating a more comprehensive approach to addressing the opioid crisis. By integrating naloxone distribution with primary healthcare services, we hope to raise awareness about opioid addiction, reduce stigma, and promote harm reduction strategies within the community.
We extend our gratitude to Whole Body Health Team for their partnership and support in making this initiative possible. Together, we are taking meaningful steps towards saving lives and building healthier, more resilient communities.
