ALTON — Centerstone announced the installation of a new NARCAN vending machine at its Alton office. Anyone can receive and carry doses of naloxone nasal spray, a medication that rapidly reduces the effects of opioids used to treat persons suspected of overdosing on opioid drugs. This lifesaving resource was made possible through a grant from Chestnut Health Systems. In collaboration with Centerstone, Chestnut will supply and restock the machine, while Centerstone ensures naloxone is available for Madison County residents in need.
