In an effort to make a life-saving drug more readily available, Williamson County has co-located Narcan with automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that are located in Williamson County buildings. Narcan is an opioid overdose reversal medication that is used for the treatment of a known or suspected opioid overdose. The medication installed in county buildings is administered through a nasal spray instead of through an injection, so there is no needle.  The medication is not harmful if the person is not suffering from an opioid-related overdose.
