Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is a drug that blocks the absorption of opioids in the brain at the receptor level. Opioids affect our respiration which is why someone suffering from an overdose may stop breathing. By blocking opioid absorption, naloxone pauses its effects in the body.

AMHC OPTIONS provides free Narcan (Naloxone) kits and training to anyone who wants it.  An increasing number of other public health organizations and health providers are doing the same.  Join this in-person training to learn more and to receive a free Narcan kit.

Nick St. Louis of AMHC and the OPTIONS Initiative, works with local law enforcement and EMS agencies to support folks who are still using drugs.  Nick provides them with appropriate resources and referrals, and supports them by developing a trusting relationship that opens a continued dialogue that hopefully ends with the person entering recovery.  He also educates the public on harm reduction, trains people on how to use Narcan, and educates them about Maine’s Good Samaritan Law. 

Nick is in long-term recovery himself and is a strong advocate for the use of MOUD and harm reduction methods. “We need to keep people alive so they can enter recovery when they’re ready. Dead people cannot recover.”  Please feel free to contact Nick by email (nstlouis@amhc.org).
