Step 1. Watch the video at your doctor's office
You start by visiting your doctor. If you don't have a doctor, you can visit one for free at the Wilkes County Health Department. Most doctors in the county are set up for Project Lazarus. If you think you'll have trouble getting to a doctor's office, give us a call at (336) 667-8100 or email us at info@projectlazarus.org. Outside of Wilkes?Try the Overdose Prevention Locator, or call us and we can connect you.
The video teaches you how to recognize the signs and symptoms of an overdose, how to respond, how to use naloxone rescue medication, how to know if your use of an opioid is out of control, and how to get help. The video is 20 minutes long and you can watch it in the privacy of the doctor's office. You can also watch it online.
Once you've watched the video, your doctor will give you a prescription for naloxone, the antidote for reversing and prescription opioid overdose.
Step 2. Pick up your free overdose reversal kit
Naloxone is the antidote to reverse opioid overdoses. We are providing it to anyone in Wilkes County for free.
