Keep Narcan Free by Taking Our Overdose Survey!

July 28, 2025

The Rice County Chemical and Mental Health Coalition (RCCMHC) is launching a new effort to crowdsource information about the use of Narcan during an overdose.

Ashley Gardner (Network Impact Coordinator at the RCCMHC) demonstrates the use of Narcan at a training workshop / June 2025

The RCCMHC and the Mobile Opioid Support Team (MOST) have placed 71 Narcan boxes at locations throughout Rice County. Each box contains four free Narcan kits. 

If you have used one or more of these Narcan kits to reverse an overdose, or if you have given Narcan to a friend, the RCCMHC could use your help. Take a confidential, anonymous online survey and help us keep Narcan free!

The survey has six short questions. Access it here.

Learning more about how and when the kits are used will help ensure we can continue to make them available at no cost to the public. We appreciate your participation and value your feedback! 

Narcan, or naloxone, as it’s also known, is a medicine that temporarily reverses an opioid overdose to prevent death. Opioids include drugs like oxycodone, codeine, fentanyl and heroin.
