CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Help4WV, West Virginia’s addiction and mental health helpline, is helping people obtain naloxone, or better know as Narcan.


In West Virginia, anyone is able to get naloxone without a prescription from health departments and some pharmacies.


A new legislative order in the state also allows for non-profits like Help4WV to help distribute doses and become and “Naloxone Hero.”
