Cook County officials held a press conference at Corazón Community Services to announce the launch of the Get Naloxone campaign to educate suburban Cook County residents about naloxone, a safe, easy-to-use medication that can stop opioid overdoses and save lives. The campaign, which is running through the end of October, features digital marketing, billboards and community posters in English and Spanish across suburban Cook County that teach people how to use naloxone and directs them to free distribution sites. More than 30 local businesses and community organizations now host over 40 naloxone boxes in easy-to-see locations for anyone to access. Each box carries the simple instruction “Lay, Spray, Stay,” and a QR code linking to a short video demonstration. Naloxone is a safe medication that reverses an opioid-involved overdose. When somebody has too many opioids in their system, their breathing can slow down to the point of stopping, which can cause them to die from lack of oxygen.
