SUBJECT: MSTEPP / AZYP Partnership Naloxone availability

The Mohave Substance-Abuse Treatment, Education & Prevention Partnership (MSTEPP) and the Kingman Office of Arizona Youth Partnership (AZYP) are proud to announce a joint partnership that will help save lives in the region.

MSTEPP, operating under the Community Action and Response Effort (CARE) grant, provided by the Department of Justice, is working to increase community knowledge of Naloxone and it’s availability to our residents. As part of the new partnership, AZYP will serve as a distribution site for Naloxone which will be provided at no cost.

Naloxone is a reversal agent for opioid overdoses that has saved hundreds of lives in the State of Arizona.

Beginning February 1st the kits will be available on Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the AZYP Office located at 2701 E. Andy Devine Avenue, Suite #115. Those needing kits can also contact (760) 470-0609 or (928) 961-0426 during business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to make special arrangements for pick-up.
