Pottstown Holding Free Naloxone Give Away Day

POTTSTOWN, PA —In an effort to fight back against opioid overdoses, free naloxone will be given away at an upcoming county-organized event.

The distribution and education event will be held on Tuesday, March 5 at Montgomery County College in Pottstown.

Organizers said the initiative is aimed at those who aren't able to get naloxone from the pharmacy, for individuals who have a substance use disorder, and for family and friends of someone in crisis.

Kits include two doses. Everyone who receives a kit will also receive educational materials, instructions on adminstering the drug, and a list of local pharmacies where it is provided.

The event will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. oat the West Campus' South Building community room, located on 101 College Drive.
