Narcan Requests and Training

The DuPage Narcan Program (DNP) provides Narcan and trainings for first responders and community members. Community trainings provide an overview of the opioid epidemic in DuPage County, how to recognize and respond to an overdose, how to use the lifesaving antidote Narcan, and education on community resources.

Narcan Pick-up and Shipping

Individuals who are at risk of witnessing an overdose can request a free Narcan kit through mail.
