The Nebraska Pharmacists Association (NPA) has recently partnered with Filament Essential Services to produce a series of videos promoting the Statewide Narcan Program. These videos are aimed at educating individuals on how to receive No-Cost Narcan, how to use Narcan to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and to promote the stopodne.com website.
The Statewide Narcan Program is a crucial initiative that provides free Narcan kits to individuals across the state of Nebraska. Narcan, also known as naloxone, is a medication used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. The medication works by blocking the receptors in the brain that opioids bind to, effectively reversing the effects of the overdose. The Statewide Narcan Program aims to increase access to Narcan in order to reduce the number of opioid-related deaths in Nebraska.
The partnership between the NPA and Filament Essential Services is an important step in increasing awareness about the Statewide Narcan Program. The videos will provide individuals with important information about how to use Narcan in an emergency situation. The videos will also promote the stopodne.com website, which is a valuable resource for individuals seeking information about the Statewide Narcan Program and opioid addiction.

The videos will be made available on the Stop Overdose Nebraska website (stopodne.com), on the NPA’s social media channels and to various city and county health departments in Nebraska. By making these videos widely available, the NPA hopes to reach a broad audience and to provide individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to respond effectively to an opioid overdose.
In addition to producing these videos, the NPA is also working to increase access to Narcan through a variety of other initiatives. This includes providing Narcan kits to pharmacies across the state, as well as training pharmacists on how to use Narcan and how to provide education and support to individuals who may be struggling with opioid addiction.
Overall, the partnership between the NPA and Filament Essential Services is an important step in the fight against opioid addiction in Nebraska. By increasing awareness about the Statewide Narcan Program and providing individuals with the resources they need to respond effectively to an opioid overdose, the NPA and its partners are working to save lives and promote a healthier, safer Nebraska for all.
