Overdose Prevention

Narcan (naloxone) is available at most pharmacies through a standing order. This means you do not need a prescription to obtain a Narcan kit, but may need to pay a small co-pay between $5 and $15 dollars based on your insurance. Narcan is free with Mass Health. See the list below for a list of pharmacies in Franklin County and the North Quabbin Region that carry Narcan:

  • CVS: 137 Federal St. in Greenfield, (413) 774-7201 or 1665 Main St. in Athol, (978) 249-7928
