YouthThink and a number of other organizations have received a state grant to make Naloxone more available in Wasco County.  Naloxone is a medication used to reverse or reduce the effects of opioids.  Law enforcement in Wasco County already carry Naloxone kits while on duty.  YouthThink’s Debby Jones says they want make access to Naloxone easier.  Jones says they hope to roll out the project in March.  She adds partners in Wasco, Hood River, and Sherman counties are looking at doing a fentanyl awareness campaign to educate people about what that drug actually is, the dangers of it, and dispelling myths about it.
