Free NARCAN® Available from SC Department of Public Health

The South Carolina Department of Public Health (SC DPH) has acquired a large supply of Narcan via grant funds received from the Centers for Disease & Control (CDC). The life-saving medication is available for hospital Emergency Departments (EDs) at discharge and at no cost to patients or caregivers who are at-risk for overdose outside of the hospital. Hospital EDs interested in receiving this Narcan should complete this form.  

Free opioid overdose kits are also available at all DPH health clinics. Each kit contains naloxone nasal spray, fentanyl and xylazine test strips, easy-to-read instructions (Spanish instructions available upon request), and information on how to spot an opioid overdose. Call the Care Line at 1-855-472-3432 to ask where you can pick up an opioid overdose kit or click here to find a public health clinic near you.
