The Solano County Sherriff’s Office and Mercury Pharmacy, both members of Touro University
California’s Drug Safe Solano program, are proud to announce the launch of the Give
Life a Chance naloxone (also known as Narcan) distribution program this summer, which
will increase the availability and ease of access of Narcan – a life-saving medication
that quickly reverses the effects of an opioid overdose. As Solano County’s first
major joint effort between law enforcement services and professional social services,
the Give Life a Chance has great promise to save lives while reducing negative public
conceptions about opioid misuse and opening the doorway for future multidisciplinary
efforts.
“It is with great hope that Narcan will be accessible to those in need, so that anyone
in the community may one day save a life,” said Lt. Swafford of the Solano County
Sherriff’s Office.
