Narcan Distribution

What Is It?

Narcan Community Distribution was identified by the Community Wellness Action Team and the Coalition for a Safe and Drug Free Swain County as an action, that when combined with other actions in our community, that has a reasonable chance of making a difference in substance misuse in our community. This is an ongoing program in our community.

The current narcan community distribution is effective within Swain County and needs to be expanded to a new target population reaching more community members and saving more lives. 

The priority population/customers for the narcan community distribution are select community members who want to be trained in narcan use, and the community narcan distribution aims to make a difference at the community level. Implementation will take place in the community.

Misuse often impacts rates of violence, injuries and certain diseases so people who are using substances are at a disadvantage when it comes to overall health.

Evaluation & Sustainability

Evaluation Plan:

We plan to evaluate the impact of community narcan distribution through the use of Results-Based AccountabilityTM to monitor specific performance measures. We will be monitoring How Much, How Well and/or Better Off Performance Measures.  

 

Sustainability Plan:

The following is our sustainability plan for community narcan distribution: 

  • Sustainability Component 1:
    • Establishing a consistent financial base for the program via grant funding -- working toward a full-time staff member to adequately address narcan distribution and training as well as funding for the narcan itself to distribute. 
      • Using program measures to ensure continued effectiveness within the community and demonstrate success to funders and other key stakeholders
