BARODA, Mich. -- The Baroda-Lake Township Police Department and the Berrien County Health Department are partnering to help address opioid overdoses by installing a free Narcan vending machine to the community.

Narcan, naloxone, is a nasal spray that can reverse an opioid overdose including overdoses involving heroin or fentanyl.

The vending machine is now available outside the police department. The machine also contains CPR face shields, gloves, and fentanyl and benzodiazepine test kits.

The vending machine is provided at no cost to the community. Each Narcan kit includes a QR code linking to a short video explaining how to administer the nasal spray.

The Baroda-Lake Township Police Department advises that if you believe someone is experiencing an overdose, always call 911.
