When Alfred Gaines was experiencing an overdose years ago, someone in his inner circle immediately sprayed naloxone, better known as Narcan, into his nose.
Narcan is a nasal spray that delivers naloxone and is designed to reverse opioid overdoses quickly and can quickly restore normal breathing to a person if their breathing has slowed or stopped because of an opioid overdose.
Now, coming up on a year of sobriety, Gaines and the city of Tempe are ready to educate the public on how these medications can save a life.
