NARCAN Vending Machine Placed at Alton Centerstone Office

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.
