Johnson County has two drug drop boxes at the

Count It, Lock It, Drop It

Through CLD It, we work with our local pharmacies and health care providers to promote safe storage of prescription medications within the home. We have lock boxes in our office for community members. Through our PFS Rx Grant, we are able to give these out for FREE to any community member who needs one. Stop in and get yours today!

Narcan (Naloxone)

Signs of an Overdose

Count It, Lock It, Drop It

We are trained local distributors of Naloxone. We have it in the Narcan nasal spray. We are able to give these out to community members for FREE. We do require a training for anyone who needs a Narcan kit. It takes about 5-10 minutes.

We also can provide trainings to any organizations wishing to train their staff on Naloxone.

Signs of an Overdose

· Small, constricted “pinpoint pupils”

· Falling asleep or loss of consciousness

· Slow, shallow breathing

· Choking or gurgling sounds

· Limp body

· Pale, blue, or cold skin
